Rod on pace to be "true" home run king
A-Rod邁向「貨真價實」的全壘打王
By Larry Fine
NEW YORK, June 21 (Reuters) - Alex Rodriguez belted 27 home runs over New
York's first 69 games and is on pace to set an American League season record
that could end up being regarded as baseball's genuine long ball standard.
Rodriguez's fast start has put him on track to hit 63 homers and drive in 171
runs.
A-Rod在洋基隊69場比賽以來夯了27發全壘打,正朝創下美聯紀錄邁進。並有可能被視為
貨真價實的全壘打紀錄。A-Rod的快轟速度使他本季預期數字來到63發全壘打,171打點。
Next stop for A-Rod and the Yankees is San Francisco for a three-game
Interleague series starting on Friday against the Giants and Barry Bonds, who
is just seven home runs shy of Hank Aaron's career record of 755.
A-Rod和洋基隊下一站將前往舊金山,從禮拜五開始與巨人隊和棒子爺進行跨聯盟的三連
戰。棒子爺距離Hank Aaron的生涯記錄755轟只差7支。
In a season where fans and the major league commissioner are conflicted about
whether to honour Bonds or shun him over his suspected use of steroids,
Rodriguez could find himself crowned a "true" home run champion.
Baseball's home run lineage begins with Babe Ruth, who made the long ball a
staple of America's pastime in the 1920s.
對於該表揚Bonds,或是該因為類固醇疑雲而貶抑他的成就,球迷們和大聯盟執行長仍有
歧見。因此,A-Rod有可能獲得「貨真價實全壘打王」的榮銜喔。全壘打強棒世家起源於
Babe Ruth。他在1920年代使全壘打成為棒球不可或缺的一部分。
Ruth's magical 60 homers in 1927 stood as the American League and major
league standard for 34 years before fellow Yankee Roger Maris smacked 61 in
1961.
Ruth在1927年神奇的60轟是美聯和全大聯盟的的紀錄,維持不墜達34年。直到1961年才被
同為洋基隊的Roger Maris的61轟打破。
Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa rewrote the record book when they waged an
enthralling home run duel in 1998 credited with reviving interest in baseball
after a damaging labour dispute scuttled the 1994 postseason.
Mark McGwire和Sammy Sosa在1998年的全壘打對決改寫了歷史紀錄。1994年禍害不淺
的勞資紛爭使得季後賽被取消,McGwire和Sosa的對決重新引起了大家對棒球的興趣。
McGwire, playing for the National League St Louis Cardinals, went on to blast
70 homers to 66 for Sosa, who slugged for the National League's Chicago Cubs.
Their home run heroics were later cast into doubt by suspicions of use of
performance-enhancing drugs and many fans sneer at the long ball records of
the so-called steroids age.
McGwire為國聯的聖路易紅雀隊效力,他在對決中轟出70發全壘打。國聯芝加哥小熊隊
的Sosa轟了66支。這兩人的英雄對決後來卻蒙上了禁藥陰影。許多球迷對這段「類固醇
時期」出現的全壘打記錄都嗤之以鼻。
If the exploits of Bonds, McGwire and Sosa, who this week became only the
fifth player to reach the career 600-home run mark, are not embraced, A-Rod
might reign supreme with the purists, should he continue his home run assault.
A-Rod, who has never been tarred by doping suspicions, was tied with Maris
through his team's first 69 games with 27 homers. Ruth had amassed 24 in the
same span in 1927, according to figures supplied by Elias Sports Bureau.
Bonds smacked 36 by the same stage of his 2001 season.
如果Bonds, McGwire, Sosa(這禮拜他剛成為史上600轟俱樂部的第五位成員)等人的功
績不被肯定,那A-Rod只要維持他的全壘打砲火,他便有可能成為「乾淨」的全壘打王。
禁藥疑雲從未纏上A-Rod(譯:不過他其他麻煩也夠多了XD)。他在本季迄今的69場裡
擊出27支全壘打,平了Maris的紀錄。根據Elias Sports Bureau提供的數據,Ruth在
1927年,69場比賽裡擊出了24支。Bonds則在2001年的初69場中擊出了36支。
