以下簡譯之
Baseball Hall of Fame 2013: Why I didn't vote for PED users
為什麼我不投給藥人
Eventually.
總有一天
That is the operative word when it comes to Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and,
to a lesser extent, Sammy Sosa.
對 Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa 來說 他們總有一天會進去的
On this first ballot in which all three are included, as a longtime member of
the BBWAA, I cannot seem to bring myself to put a check mark next to their
names because all three are so embroiled in the PEDs controversy.
對多年的 BBWAA 會員的我來說 因為他們吃藥所以今年我不投給他們
Are they worthy? No doubt.
他們應該進去嗎 當然
On this ballot, today? Not a chance.
今年嗎 當然不
It comes down to choices and by all accounts, Bonds, Clemens and Sosa simply
did not make the right decisions when it came to performance enhancing drugs,
although signs indicated that Major League Baseball itself was embroiled in a
drug controversy that included more players, executives and front-office
folks than we’ll ever truly know.
他們做了錯的決定 他們吃藥了 當然整個大聯盟都在吃藥 但我們永遠不會知道
So yes, Bonds, the preeminent hitter of his time, will eventually be inducted
into the Baseball Hall of Fame, as will Clemens, the preeminent pitcher of
his day.
所以 當然 Bonds 和 Clemens 總有一天會進聖人堂的
But they have to pay the piper right now because, well, they must, although
it truly breaks my heart.
但他們得要付出代價
Barry Bonds was a first-ballot Hall of Famer if ever there was such a thing …
棒子爺應該要第一次就進去的
He played 22 seasons, made 14 All-Star teams, took home eight Gold Gloves,
won seven NL MVPs (more than anyone, ever), had more than 100 RBIs 12 times,
batted .298 for his career and slugged more home runs (762) than Hank Aaron,
whom I adore for his class and understated power.
他打了22個球季 14次全星星 8次金手套 7次MVP(史上最多) 12次單季100RBI以上
生涯.298打擊率 762轟 比我最愛的 Hank Aaron 還多
When it comes to character, Bonds is no Hank Aaron.
但說到做人嘛 棒子爺還差阿倫很遠
With all the pressure of being the absolute best crashing down on his growing
head in 2000, Bonds could not resist. He could not take players such as Mark
McGwire and Sosa smashing home runs with the consistency that he had always
maintained. And Bonds belted a ridiculous 73 home runs in 2001, cementing his
status as King of the PEDs.
2000年的時候棒子爺看著 McGwire 和 Sosa 一支接一支的轟 他也受不了誘惑吃藥去了
2001年他轟了73發 奠定了他藥王的地位
It made baseball look downright silly although it surely proved my suspicions
that if you put everyone on PEDs, Bonds would still out-slug them all.
這讓棒球變得愚蠢 但也證明了就算每個人都吃藥的話 棒子爺也會是最強的
He should have stood strong. He did not and by many accounts, lied about his
involvement with drugs.
他應該要堅強抵抗誘惑的 但他沒有而且還說謊
He has to pay for it.
他得要付出代價
Clemens pitched for 24 seasons, posted five 20-win seasons, 15 with 200-plus
innings pitched, won a record seven Cy Young Awards, led his league in ERA
seven times and won two World Series rings with the Yankees. All on top of a
lifetime 3.12 ERA.
火箭人投了24個球季 5次20勝以上 15次超過200局 史上最多的7次賽揚獎
7次最低ERA 2個冠軍 生涯ERA 3.12
He was the best pitcher of his era.
火箭人是最強的
Clemens was also a surly, unrepentant abuser and to this day refuses to
acknowledge his misgivings.
但他也吃藥而且撒謊
For all of that, he has to pay.
所以他得要付出代價
Sosa played 18 seasons, amassed 609 career home runs, was a seven-time
All-Star, a six-time Silver Slugger Award winner, and posted at least 100
RBIs in nine seasons.
索沙打了18個球季 生涯609轟 7次全星星 6次銀棒獎 9次100RBI以上
His remarkable chase of Roger Maris’ single-season home run record in 1998,
along with McGwire, is almost singularly responsible for bringing baseball
back from its proverbial economic cliff but that is not why he will be
remembered. Cork exploding out of his bat and his total disappearing act
after his last season are his lasting impression.
1998年他和馬怪互相追逐的全壘打大戰可以說隻手拯救了MLB
但他並不因為這樣被記得 反而是因為填充棒和逃避質疑而留在人們的記憶中
He, too, has to pay, and today is that day.
他也要付出代價 就在今天
So check marks on this ballot are being placed next to the names of Jack
Morris, Lee Smith, Curt Schilling, and since I love his days with the Yankees
and his overall .307 lifetime batting average, I voted, again, for Donnie
Baseball, aka, Don Mattingly. And of those four, only Morris and Schilling
have a chance at being inducted this year.
所以我投給了 Jack Morris, Lee Smith, Curt Schilling, Don Mattingly
Bonds, Clemens, Sosa, and, to a lesser extent, McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro,
all may eventually be elected to the Hall of Fame but their desire to acquire
greatness through artificial means taints their respective legacies.
Bonds, Clemens, Sosa, McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro 他們有一天都會進聖人堂的
但因為他們想用人工的方法變強所以都該加星號
And although I strongly believe that all of those I just mentioned – Bonds,
Clemens, Sosa, McGwire and Palmeiro – are true Hall of Famers, they will
have to stand on the outside looking in at this ballot because it boils down
to just this:
Hard work and talent lead to greatness. It can’t be manufactured under any
circumstance.
他們都該進聖人堂 但今年不行 因為你得要靠努力和天分 吃藥是不行滴
In an era that will be remembered throughout history for its blatant
disregard of the game’s rules, I personally suspect that Bonds, Clemens,
Sosa, McGwire, Palmeiro and even Jeff Bagwell opted for immediate
gratification.
我懷疑 Bonds, Clemens, Sosa, McGwire, Palmeiro, Jeff Bagwell 都是藥人
Today is the day they must pay for that decision.
什麼時候他們得要付出代價呢
就在今天
心得: 對老一輩的BBWAA會員來說 這種希望吃藥的人付出代價的心態應該是相當普遍的
但他還是沒解釋為什麼沒投給 Biggio?
