About David Hulse

  • David Lindsey Hulse (February 25, 1968), is a retired Major League Baseball player who played outfielder from 1992–1996 for the Texas Rangers and Milwaukee Brewers. Hulse played collegiate baseball at Schreiner University and was drafted by the Rangers in the thirteenth round of the 1990 amateur draft.
  • He made it to the big leagues in 1992, batting .302 in 32 games.
  • The following year, installed as the Rangers' center fielder, Hulse hit .290 and stole 29 bases, earning him some votes for Rookie of the Year; Hulse ultimately finished in eighth place.
  • But despite his speed and defense, Hulse was not much of a power hitter (just five home runs in a career 1,265 at-bats), so he was traded to Milwaukee in 1995. Hulse’s baseball career was derailed on September 7, 1996, in a game against his former team, the Rangers.
  • Hulse was on third base and attempted to score on a ground ball toward first base.
  • When the throw came home, Hulse tried to slide around catcher Dave Valle and touch the outside of the plate.
  • Valle, however, was firmly planted at the plate, and the two collided.
  • In the collision, Hulse’s humerus was forced against his chest, causing significant damage and severely limiting his arm movement.
  • After re-habbing in 1997, Hulse attempted a comeback in 1998-99 with the AAA franchises of both the Boston Red Sox and St.
  • Louis Cardinals.
  • Despite hitting a combined .332, Hulse was not promoted back to the majors and retired from baseball.
