abstract:John Erickson (born circa 1938) was a second baseman who is most notable for winning the 1960 College World Series Most Outstanding Player award while a sophomore at the University of Minnesota. He is one of three players from University of Minnesota to win that award.
On Day 1 in Burlington, considered by many the heart of green business, JohnErickson, professor of ecological economics at the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Vermont, clearly touched a nerve.
JohnErickson makes something of the comparison between the great tsarist offensive in 1916 under Brusilov and Zhukov's operation in 1944 to clear the Germans from Belarus, showing in the process that the armies of both wars were not the primitive, poorly led, forces often depicted in western literature.
