KANSAS CITY -- For some time, it hasn't been a matter of if, but when. Now, Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez sits just one home run shy of joining baseball's prestigious 500 home run club. 就在今天，洋基隊的三壘手，Alex Rodriguez，只差1支全壘打，就可以成為500俱樂部的其中一員。 The Major League leader in home runs and RBIs, Rodriguez slugged career home run No. 499 on Wednesday, a two-run shot in the eighth inning off Kansas City starter Gil Meche. A-Rod connected on a full-count offering from the right- hander, blasting it over the wall in right-center for an estimated 403-foot shot that gave New York a 5-1 lead. 在MLB領先全壘打數以及打點的 Rodriguez，他又打下了生涯的第499號全壘打，在第八局的時候面對 Kansas City 的先發投手 Gil Meche，Rodriguez揮出了2分打點，右外野，403英尺的全壘打，並且使洋基取得 5 比 1 的領先。 Yankees manager Joe Torre has marveled at Rodriguez's rapid ascension from 400 home runs to the neighborhood of the 500 mark, and believes that when Rodriguez eventually hits the historic shot, he is virtually assured of entry into Cooperstown. 洋基的總教練 Joe Torre 對於 Rodriguez 神奇且快速的締造全壘打紀錄感到驚訝，而且他相信， Rodriguez 一定會在洋基歷史上留名的。 Of course, no one knows just how many more Rodriguez can hit from here, and it's certainly legitimate to speculate if it is simply a matter of years before he becomes baseball's all-time home run leader. 當然，沒有人可以打包票說 Rodriguez 可以在洋基隊打出多少支的全壘打，而且也不用去計算 Rodriguez 什麼時候可以成為 MLB 史上全壘打數的領先者。 "To me, Alex is just stopping off here at 500," Torre said. "It's not like, 'Oh, good, I made my career.' He has higher aspirations than that. Not to say that 500 isn't a free ticket to the Hall of Fame, but this kid, if he stays healthy, God only knows." "對我來說， Rodriguez 現在只是暫時停留在500轟而已，這不是像是一般人，完成了500轟是生涯最酷的事情，因為 Rodriguez 他之後，一定會創下更偉大的紀錄的。雖然說，500轟幾乎確定可以進入美國大聯盟的名人堂，但是，這孩子，天知道，他還會幹下什麼幾乎不可能創下的紀錄呢?" Rodriguez has now hit three home runs in his last three games, climbing up the ladder toward becoming the 22nd player in Major League history to reach the 500-home run milestone. His 499 homers rank him 22nd on baseball's all-time list, five ahead of Lou Gehrig and Fred McGriff, and three behind Toronto's Frank Thomas. Rodriguez 最近的 3 場比賽，打出了 3 支的全壘打，已經是 MLB 史上排名第 22 名了。已經超前 Lou Gehrig 和 Fred McGriff 五支，而且也僅僅落後 Frank Thomas 4 支而已。 With just one home run now standing between him and No. 500, Rodriguez can't help but be reminded of the milestone each time he steps to the plate. Major League Baseball began supplying umpires with specially marked balls for Rodriguez's at-bats with home run No. 496 on July 16 against the Blue Jays for authentication purposes. 只差 1 支就可以進入 500 俱樂部， Rodriguez 在踏上打擊區的時候，總是會不經意的想起這個里程碑。並且， MLB 自從在 Rodriguez 的 496 轟出現之後，還準備了特殊的，做了記號的棒球給他。因為，每球都是歷史。 Interestingly, most of Rodriguez's milestone home runs have come on the road. He hit homer No. 400 at Milwaukee, No. 300 at Anaheim, Nos. 250 and 100 at Toronto, and No. 200 at Chicago. Rodriguez's first Major League home run, on June 12, 1995, was hit at Seattle's Kingdome while playing for the Mariners. 有趣的是， Rodriguez 很多次締造里程碑的時候，都是在客場出賽，No.400 在 Milwaukee，No.300 在 Anaheim,No.250 和 100 在 Toronto，No.200 在 Chicago。 Rodriguez 的第一支全壘打，在 1995 年的 6 月 12 號，在水手隊的主場打出。 Rodriguez is one of three Major League players to hit 100 or more home runs with three different teams, joining Reggie Jackson and Darrell Evans. Rodriguez 是唯三中之一，在待過的三支球隊，都打出 100 支以上的選手，其他兩位則是 Reggie Jackson 以及 Darrell Evans。原文出處 http://mlb.mlb.com/news/gameday_recap.jsp?ymd=20070725&content_id=2109 771&vkey=recap&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb 有錯請告知 /( ‵▽′)>敬禮 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.166.54.198
