NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez will have the opportunity to play against Ken Griffey Jr. this weekend at Yankee Stadium, on the opposite coast from where they broke in on the Kingdome turf as young Seattle Mariners standouts. A-Rod這個禮拜將有一個機會，與大名鼎鼎的Ken Griffey Jr.來一場較勁。他們曾經是隊友可別忘了以前他們兩個在水手隊的榮光啊!! Griffey's Cincinnati Reds arrived in town to open a three-game series in New York on Friday, and Rodriguez lauded Junior's recent accomplishment, becoming the sixth Major Leaguer to join the 600-home run club. 紅人這次來到了紐約，要與洋基打三場系列賽，A-Rod也稱讚最近Jr.的成績---加入600轟俱樂部的第六人。 "It's going to be fun," Rodriguez said. "He's a very close friend, and I'm very proud of his accomplishments -- 600 and, hopefully, 700 -- but none this weekend, I hope." "這非常有趣。"A-Rod說。 "他是我非常親近的朋友，而且我對他的成績很驕傲--600轟，哦不，希望是700轟，" "---希望但千萬不要是這個禮拜。"A-Rod說。 In a pregame press conference with reporters, Griffey said that he fully expects that not only will Rodriguez -- who entered Friday with 532 homers -- join the 600-home run club, he will go well beyond. 在賽前的記者會中，Griffey說他非常期待A-Rod的表現(已經轟了532發全壘打)，期待A-Rod 也能夠加入600轟俱樂部，而且A-Rod會走的更遠。 Griffey believes that A-Rod -- who is in the first season of a 10-year contract with the Yankees -- will eventually catch Barry Bonds' career record of 762. Griffey相信A-Rod(今年是與洋基10年大合約的第一年)最後可以打破由Barry Bonds所保持的762轟，大聯盟紀錄。 "If he stays healthy and continues to put up the numbers he has, yeah," Griffey said. "I don't see why not." "如果A-Rod他能夠保持健康，而且把那個數字一個一個加上去，"Griffey說。 "762轟 ? Why not ?" Griffey and Rodriguez were teammates on the Mariners from A-Rod's rookie season, 1994, through the 1999 season, when Griffey was traded to the Reds for a four-player package that included Mike Cameron and Brett Tomko. A-Rod跟Griffey在水手的時候，從A-Rod是新人就是隊友了，那年是1994年。到了1999年， Griffey被交易到了紅人，到水手的球員包括Mike Cameron 跟 Brett Tomko。 Having had a close look at the young A-Rod, Griffey isn't surprised that he developed to enjoy the type of standout success that he has achieved. 曾經這麼近距離的看著年輕的A-Rod，Griffey對於他的成長，可是一點與不驚訝。 "When you're 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds at 18, that's a pretty good indication you'll get just a little bit bigger," he said. "I don't think I was 210 [pounds] until I was 24 or 25. He was definitely a lot of bigger than any kid I played with in high school." "當你在18歲的時候就長到6呎3，210磅，那絕對表示你有點大隻。"Griffey說。 "我大概到24.25歲的時候，才到210磅吧! A-Rod絕對是比其他我在高中時候打球的小孩還要大隻。" Griffey has not played at Yankee Stadium since he left Seattle. He has hit 18 of his 600 homers in the Bronx, where his father, Ken Griffey Sr., played with the Yankees from 1982 into the 1986 season. Griffey自從轉隊之後，再也沒有到過洋基球場，他600轟中有18支是在Bronx球場打出的。而巧的是，他的父親Ken Griffey Sr.，在1982到1986球季效力於洋基。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 163.25.118.139
