No playoff demotion to the No. 8 spot in the batting order. And certainly no baseball black cloud hovering over him, as it did all of the 2006 season. 沒有做日光浴的戲碼，沒有季後賽打第八棒的降級，當然也沒有烏雲盤旋 Alex Rodriguez had a mostly charmed fourth season in pinstripes, carrying the Yankees on his $252 million shoulders for much of the spring and summer when the team slumped to a 21-29 start. A-Rod whacked 54 homers - including his 500th career blast at Yankee Stadium Aug. 4 - while driving in 156 runs and batting .314 during the regular season. Good enough numbers for the 32-year- old All-Star third baseman to snag his third MVP award in the last five seasons and that's why he's your pick for New York Sportsperson of the Year. 阿肉穿上直條紋球衣的第四個球季，是多麼不可思議；他在球隊陷入低潮時期，一肩扛起重任；打出了54支全壘打(包括個人生涯第500支)、156分打點以及3成14的打擊率。得到第三座MVP當之無愧，同時也讓他成為讀者票選為紐約年度體壇人物。 But it was another empty October for one of the game's best players, as A-Rod is still searching for his first World Series ring. After the Bombers' second- half surge ensured a 12th straight postseason berth under manager Joe Torre, Rodriguez once again failed to morph into Mr. October. 但是今年的季後賽又是以失望收場 Rodriguez wasn't dropped to the No. 8 spot in ignominious fashion as he was in the '06 division series against Detroit. But he was mostly a non-factor as the Bombers were booted by Cleveland in the ALDS, a third consecutive first- round exit. Rodriguez finished 4-for-15 (.267) in the four-game ouster, his lone homer coming in Game 4 when the Yankees staged a late rally that fell short. 阿肉沒有被調到第八棒，但是洋基仍然難逃連續三年季後賽第一輪就出局的窘況。季後賽第一輪對上笑臉人時，阿肉的打擊成績是2成65，並且在第四戰轟了一支全壘打。 "It's been a tough ladder for me. I've learned some things this year as a player and in this clubhouse, and for that I'm most proud. It's just too bad it has to end like this, on a sour note," Rodriguez said after the Indians advanced to the ALCS. "成功對我而言總是條困難的途徑。今年我學到了許多，不論是身為球員個人方面還是球隊團體方面，而這也是我最自豪的。只是，看著它以遺憾的方式結束，總是讓人難過。" Of course, it wouldn't be the Yankees and A-Rod without a dash or two of drama. Rodriguez kicked off '07 spring training by telling reporters that - shockingly - he was no longer so close to the captain, Derek Jeter. "Derek and I were the best of friends 10 or 12 years ago," said A-Rod in February. "People start assuming things are a lot worse than what they are, which they're not. But they're obviously not as great as they used to be, when we were like blood brothers." 當然啦，當洋基與阿肉碰在一起，一兩個戲劇間隔的停頓是免不了。阿肉今年春訓時就語出驚人的說自己跟Jeter已經"舊情不再"：10或12年以前，Derek跟我曾經是最好的朋友，別人猜測現在我們關係惡劣，但是其實也還好；只不過要說一如往昔也不對，我們曾經好到像親兄弟。" There was a "bush league" play in Toronto, where Rodriguez allegedly yelled "Hah!" rounding the bases and caused Toronto's Howie Clark to drop an easy pop-up. Rodriguez was also caught on film across the border cavorting with a woman who was not his wife. 還有在多倫多發生的事情。 The biggest A-Rod bombshell came during Game 4 of the World Series. In what many viewed as upstaging the Fall Classic, it was announced that Rodriguez would opt out of the remaining three years of his mammoth deal to become a free agent. Rodriguez was skewered in the media and in baseball circles. He ultimately snubbed his agent Scott Boras and negotiated his way back to the table with Hank and Hal Steinbrenner, signing a 10-year $275 million contract with incentives that could make it worth over $300 million. 最大的震撼當然就是季後宣佈脫逃以及重新跟洋基高層建立關係的那一段，現在終於一切塵埃落定。 "I felt New York was the place for me," Rodriguez said after the deal was finalized. "I have a lot to prove here." "我覺得紐約是屬於我的地方，"阿肉在簽約後說："我有太多東西想向她證明。" -- 宇宙裡的微小塵埃 http://www.wretch.cc/album/AllyDai -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.71.94.31
