Lund was an adept defensive player who spent almost his entire 11-year playing career in minor league baseball (1960–1970). He signed with the Cleveland Indians and in his 1960 rookie season led Florida State League shortstops in putouts. The following year, he led Carolina League shortstops in double plays and fielding percentage. But Lund did not reach Cleveland until August 1, 1967, and received only a three-game trial with the Indians before being acquired along with John O'Donoghue by the Baltimore Orioles for Eddie Fisher and minor leaguers Johnny Scruggs and Bob Scott on November 28, 1967.[2] Lund along with Gene Brabender was traded from the Orioles to the Seattle Pilots for Chico Salmon on March 31, 1969.[3] He appeared in 20 games with the Pilots in 1969, 17 at shortstop, batting .263 with one RBI. Despite his fielding prowess as a minor leaguer, in the Majors he made six errors in 61 total chances at shortstop, for a poor .902 fielding average.[1]
