A-Rod reaches two milestones vs. Jays 對藍鳥一役 A-Rod 達成兩項里程碑 Slugger nets homer No. 450, hit No. 2,000 with one swing 強打者一擊囊獲第 450 號全壘打與第 2000 支安打。原文 http://0rz.net/4d1Ek By Mark Feinsand / MLB.com With one swing of the bat on Friday night, Alex Rodriguez made history. Twice. 藉由週五晚上的一次揮擊， Alex Rodriguez 兩度締造歷史。 A-Rod's three-run home run against Toronto's A.J. Burnett marked both his 2,000th career hit and his 450th homer. The 416-foot shot, which came on a 1-1 count, made Rodriguez the youngest player in baseball history to reach the 450-homer mark. A-Rod 對多倫多的 A.J. Burnett 打出的三分全壘打是他生涯第 2000 支安打與第 450 號全壘打，這支 416 呎遠的一擊在球數一好一壞時打出，讓 Rodriguez 成為棒球史上最年輕打出 450 發全壘打的選手。 "It's exciting; that's a lot of home runs," Rodriguez said. "It's nice to do it in a park that I like and respect so much. To do it against a very good pitcher like A.J., it's pretty cool." "這真是令人興奮；這麼多的全壘打，" Rodriguez 表示。"能在這個我如此喜愛與尊敬的球場做到這樣的事是很好的，能從像 A.J 這麼好的投手手中達成這個目標，真的挺酷的。" Rodriguez is the youngest player ever to hit 450 homers, eclipsing the mark of his former Seattle teammate, Ken Griffey Jr. Rodriguez 是最年輕達成 450 轟的選手，凌駕他西雅圖的老隊友 Ken Griffey Jr. 的成就。 Griffey was 31 years, 261 days when he hit his 450th, while A-Rod won't turn 31 until next Thursday. Rodriguez moved past Jeff Bagwell for sole possession of 32nd place on the all-time home run list. 當 Griffey 打出他的第 450 號全壘打時年僅 31 歲又 261 天，而 A-Rod 直到下週四前都未滿 31 歲。 Rodriguez 超過 Jeff Bagwell 獨居跨時代全壘打排行榜第 32 名。 Rodriguez also became just the eighth player to record 2,000 hits before his 31st birthday, joining Ty Cobb (29), Rogers Hornsby (29), Mel Ott (30), Hank Aaron (30), Joe Medwick (30), Jimmie Foxx (30) and Robin Yount (30). Rodriguez 也成為第八個在 31 歲生日前打出 2000 支安打的選手，加入 Ty Cobb (29) 、 Rogers Hornsby (29) 、 Mel Ott (30) 、 Hank Aaron (30) 、 Joe Medwick (30) 、 Jimmie Foxx (30) 與 Robin Yount (30) 的行列。 "It's remarkable that he's only 30 years old, has 2,000 hits and 450 home runs," Joe Torre said. "I'm sure he's very proud of that, but I'm also sure that he'd rather do something on an everyday basis." "值得注意的是他才 30 歲，打出 2000 支安打與 450 發全壘打，" Joe Torre 表示。"我很確定他為這紀錄感到驕傲，但我也確定他寧願做些平凡的事情。" Rodriguez has been at the center of the New York baseball universe this week, thanks largely to his five errors over the past five days. Rodriguez has been booed heavily at home, and some have even gone as far as to suggest that he would be better off being traded out of the Bronx. 這個禮拜 Rodriguez 成了紐約棒球圈裡的頭條新聞，這完全得感謝過去五天來他的五次失誤。 Rodriguez 在主場被噓爆，而更離譜的建議是他最好被交易出去，離開洋基球場。 "You have to put it behind you," Rodriguez said of his recent defensive woes. "It's an everyday game, and this team needs me to play well in the present tense. I can't allow myself to worry; I have to focus on the present." "你最好把那些事情置之腦後，" Rodriguez 談到他近來的防守災難，"這是場例行賽，而這支球隊需要我在這個緊繃的時刻表現良好。我不能容許我自己去擔心；我得專注在眼前的事情。" Those struggles, however, made Friday night's milestone home run even better for A-Rod, who was able to reflect for a few minutes on what he has accomplished during the first 11-plus years of his career. 這些掙扎，無論如何，對 A-Rod 來說打出週五晚上歷史性的全壘打仍是不錯的，能讓 A-Rod 花上幾分鐘思考他 11 年多的職業生涯達成的成就。 "It's cool to come in this week," Rodriguez said. "In a week of so much criticism, it's good to get a little reminder that you've done some special things in this game from an early age. I think it's pretty cool." "能在這週達成真是好極了，" Rodriguez 表示。"在這個充滿批判的一週，能得到一些你從很早的年代到這場比賽前所做的一些特別的事情的提示真的很好，我想這挺酷的。" Youngest to hit 450 homers -------------------------------- Rank Player Years Days 1. Alex Rodriguez 30 359 2. Ken Griffey Jr. 31 261 3. Jimmie Foxx 31 276 4. Mickey Mantle 32 333 5. Hank Aaron 33 98 6. Willie Mays 33 137 7. Babe Ruth 33 159 "That guy has accomplished so much in this game, so people forget that even talented players like that do struggle," Johnny Damon said. "Unfortunately, he's struggled some this week, but he'll get through it. It's just been a tough run for him." "這小伙子在比賽中達成這麼多的成就，所以人們忘記即使這麼有天份的選手也會低潮，" Johnny Damon 表示。"很不幸的，他這週有點低潮，但他會走出來的，對他來說這正是是嚴苛的考驗。" The ball was caught by Karen Dragu of Barrie, Ontario, who was attending the game with four family members. Dragu, a Yankees fan, had no idea that the ball she caught represented one milestone, let alone two. 這顆球被 Barrie, Ontario 的 Karen Dragu 接到，他與他四名家人一同餐與比賽。 Dragu 一名洋基迷，不知道她接到的這顆球代表著一項里程碑，更不用說二項。 "I didn't have a clue," said Dragu, who was brought down in front of the Yankees' clubhouse after the game, where she and her family met A -Rod, took some pictures and each received an autographed ball in exchange for his milestone ball. "This is the ultimate." "我完全沒有被告知，" Dragu 表示，她在比賽後被帶到洋基球員休息室前面，她與她的家人與 A-Rod 會面，拍幾張照片而為了交換她的里程碑球每個人都拿到一顆親筆簽名球。"這是極限了。" Rodriguez may very well finish his career as baseball's all-time home run leader, as he is on pace to topple Hank Aaron's mark sometime in 2014. Rodriguez said he doesn't think about that kind of record very much, preferring instead to focus on the present. Rodriguez 也許能結束他球員生涯順當的成為棒球史上劃時代全壘打領先者，當他在 2014 年某時能進一步改寫 Hank Aaron 的紀錄。 Rodriguez 說他並不會常去思考那樣的成就，寧可專注在眼前的事物。 "I'm a present-tense kind of guy. But 450 and 2,000 at the same time, that's unique," Rodriguez said. "Unfortunately I couldn't do it in a win, but I'm still going to enjoy it." "我是個"現在式"類型的人，但 450 與 2000 在某些時候是獨一無二的，" Rodriguez 表示。不幸地我不能在勝利的時候達成，但我仍會享受這個成就。 Rodriguez is the third active Major Leaguer to record his 2,000th hit with a home run, joining Frank Thomas and Manny Ramirez. Rodriguez 是現役第三名以全壘打達成 2000 支安打的大聯盟選手，加入 Frank Thomas 與 Manny Ramirez 的行列。 Rodriguez is the fourth member of the current Yankees team with at least 2,000 hits in his career, joining Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams and Gary Sheffield. Jeter collected his milestone hit on May 26. Rodriguez 是現在洋基裡第四名生涯至少 2000 支安打的成員，加入 Derek Jeter 、 Bernie Williams 與 Gary Sheffield 。 Jeter 在 5/26 達成他的里程碑。 "I'm sure he'd rather be putting a streak together than to talk about what a great milestone it is," Torre said. "It's ironic; when Jeter got his 2,000th hit, we lost that game, too." "我很確定他寧可連勝而不是談論這是個多偉大的里程碑，" Torre 表示。"這很諷刺；當 Jeter 打出他的第 2000 支安打的時候，我們也輸球了。" Rodriguez is also now just three RBIs from 1,300 in his career. Rodriguez 再三分打點就達成生涯第 1300 分。 A-Rod's first big-league hit came in his rookie season with the Mariners, as the 18-year-old shortstop singled against Boston's Sergio Valdez on May 9, 1994, in his second big-league game. A-Rod 大聯盟第一支安打是在水手時的新人年，1994 年 5/9 時年 18 歲的游擊手從波士頓的 Sergio Valdez 手中敲出安打，那是他第二場大聯盟比賽。 Rodriguez's 1,000th hit came as a member of the Rangers on May 5, 2001, against the White Sox. Rodriguez 的第 1000 支安打是在遊騎兵時擊出的，在 2001 年 5/5 ，對手是白襪。 Mark Feinsand is a reporter for MLB.com.
