來點跟交易無關的東西....雖然是幾天前的新聞 http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20071203&content_id= 2316177&vkey=news_stl&fext=.jsp&c_id=stl Billy Southworth isn't the best known Cardinals manager, but no one ever had a better run helming the team. 在紅雀隊史中，Billy Southworth雖然不是最出名的總教練，但卻沒有任何人能將球隊帶的像他一樣好。 Southworth, who presided over the Redbirds' dominant stretch in the early 1940s , was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on the Veterans Committee ballot on Monday. Southworth帶領紅鳥們在40年代初期縱橫整個大聯盟，而在這個禮拜一被資深球員委員會選進了名人堂中。 Southworth managed parts of 13 seasons in the Major Leagues, including seven s- easons over two stints in St. Louis. He was player-manager for 90 games in 1929 , then presided over the dominant Cardinals teams from 1940-1945. Those teams won three pennants and two World Series titles, and in Southworth's five full seasons as Cardinals manager, the team averaged nearly 102 wins per year. Southworth總共擔任過13年的總教練，其中前7年都待在聖路易。他在1929年以球員兼教練的身份執掌兵符共90場比賽，接著在1940年開始成為正式的總教練。而在他領軍的5個完整球季(1941-1945)中，紅雀拿下了3次國聯冠軍以及兩次世界大賽冠軍，平均每年可以贏得將近102場比賽。 "On behalf of the entire St. Louis Cardinals organization, I would like to off- er congratulations to the late Billy Southworth and his family and friends on his election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame," Cardinals principal owner Bill DeWitt Jr. said in a statement issued by the team. "我謹代表整個紅雀隊上下所有人，對被選進名人堂這件事，向已故的Billy Southworth以及他的家人、朋友獻上誠摯的恭賀之意。" 紅雀的大老闆在透過球隊向外發表的聲明中這麼說著。 "Billy Southworth oversaw one of the greatest eras in Cardinals history and it is gratifying to see his career accomplishments recognized by the Veterans Com- mittee." "Billy Southworth帶領紅雀創造了隊史中最偉大的一個時代，我們很樂於見到他的生涯成就受到資深球員委員會的認可。" Over his full career, Southworth posted a 1044-744 record for a .597 winning p- ercentage. He won another pennant in 1948 as the manager of the Boston Braves. He is the 10th Hall of Famer to have managed the Cardinals. Southworth passed away in 1969. Southworth在總教練生涯中寫下1044勝744敗，勝率0.597的紀錄。他並在1948年擔任波士頓勇士隊總教練時，帶領勇士拿下另一個國聯冠軍。他也是第10位曾經帶領過紅雀隊的名人堂成員。於1969年過世。 "Old Billy Southworth, that's good news," said Marty Marion, who played on Sou- thworth's teams from 1940-45. "But he was voted in the Hall of Fame and doesn't even know about it. That's a shame." "老Billy Southworth，WOW，這是件好消息，" Marty Marion這麼說到，他在1940-1945年間曾在Southworth手下效力過。"但他卻永遠也無法得知他被選進名人堂了，真是遺憾。" Marion was a shortstop for the Cards from his debut with Southworth in 1940 th- rough the 1950 season. He won the 1944 Most Valuable Player award playing for Southworth. Marion made eight all-star teams, three of them as a member of Sou- thworth's teams. Marion在1940年debut時，就是Southworth手下的球員，直到1950年才離開紅雀隊。他在 1944年拿下國聯最有價值球員獎，並入選過八次明星賽，而其中三次的國聯明星隊總教練都是Southworth。 Whitey Herzog, Cardinals skipper from 1980-1990, fell just short of election. Herzog received 11 votes, one shy of the necessary total. Herzog won three pen- nants and one World Series in his 11 years as St. Louis skipper. 另一位在1980-1990年帶領紅雀的總教練，Whitey Herzog，則與名人堂擦肩而過。他總共獲得了11張選票，離門檻就只差那麼一張。Herzog在帶領紅雀的11年間，一共拿下三次國聯冠軍以及一次世界大賽冠軍。 ===== Whitey Herzog的時代就是前面提過的"狂奔的紅鳥"，幾乎年年盜壘數都是聯盟第一，其中最猛的一年曾有314次盜壘成功的紀錄。我本來還以為Herzog會先入選，因為VC過去有先選還活著的人的傾向。 XD -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.162.121.16
