Raw emotion highlights Yankee celebration Mark Feinsand September 27, 2007 http://www.nydailynews.com/ 重點: 有點感傷、有點西斯、有點好笑及有點感動的慶祝場面 1. 球員們總是說用香檳慶祝的場面永遠不會老套, 我同意是這樣沒錯。但不同意的是，因為我沒有機會把香檳酒噴在球員身上，我也不會像他們噴得這麼溼(雖然Tony Pena 瞄準我們中的一兩個，想辦法讓我們分享這份喜悅)，但是整個更衣室覆蓋在香檳酒的氣味中還是一件很獨特的事情。看著這群成年人(以及Shelly Duncan, 這孩子氣的男人)做著瘋狂的舉動，到處跳來跳去而且唱著，這時用香檳酒和啤酒相互把對方弄溼是件挺重要的事情。在這個不可置信的球季裡，當洋基應付他們面臨的所有壓力之後，對球員而言這是一個可以將所有壓力宣洩出去又可以相互間玩得開心的好機會。 2. 這就是他們終極的目標嗎? 還差得遠呢，我看過2001年的洋基隊用樸實無華的方式舉杯慶祝他們拿到東區冠軍的頭銜(那是9月11日後大約兩週左右的時候，他們選擇放棄這種標準的噴香檳大肆慶祝的方式)，然後把這場面留到贏得分區系列賽和美聯冠軍系列賽之後。但是當他們世界大賽系列的第七場輸掉比賽後，球員休息區卻是一遍的死寂，我就再也看不到慶祝的場面了。(有點想哭!) 3. 2003年，洋基隊在Aaron Boone打出再見全壘打後是用我從來都沒看過的方式慶祝得到勝利，即使是在電視上看到的都是如此。洋基球場的球員休息室也變成我一生看過最狂野的場地。這場比賽也是記載在我的生涯中最偉大的一場比賽，即使贏得世界冠軍系列賽都沒法超過這場比賽給人的震撼。 4. 但是昨晚，在純品康納球場客隊的休息室的慶祝場面是不同的，沒有美聯東區冠軍的 T恤，也無法四處都看得到東區冠軍特製的帽子，有的只是純粹發自內心未經矯飾的感情。年輕的球員像Duncan和張伯倫就如預期的最是激動，每一回香檳噴灑在球員身上時他倆都用盡聲量大聲的吼叫嘶嚷。 (Joba的表現成為昨晚我喜愛的一則報導：當兩罐冰啤酒澆到他頭上後，Joba尖叫著說好冰哦，然後說: "花花公子們，人家的乳頭變得好硬哦!" 他的表現實在太正點了。) 5. 我也看到了一件我見過最奇特的事，當Kyle Farnsworth的五歲的兒子Stone帶著一罐百威啤酒走來走去，球員們會彎下腰來所以他可以把一些啤酒澆到他們頭上。 6. 實際上在那裡的每個球員都對Joe Torre有一些感謝的話要說，Joe Torre是在球隊艱困的時刻讓休息區裡的球員可以凝結在一起的關鍵人物。Torre和Jeter相互擁抱共享喜悅的時刻。Duncan則給Torre一個大熊抱，感謝Torre本季讓他有機會為洋基打球，眼淚也從臉上滑落下來。A-Rod也和Torre緊抱了幾分鐘並說了些真心誠意的話語，與這個去年十月讓他打第八棒的男人共享這偉大的時刻。 7. 這是一個相當感人的夜晚。當這個球隊球季初打出21勝29敗的成績時，很多人都認為他們差不多完蛋了。我卻一直認為他們可以進到季後賽，雖然會有那一兩天我也會懷疑為什麼我會有這種想法。以一位洋基隊隨隊的專屬記者而言，看到你整年在採訪的這些傢伙能夠體驗到這樣的興奮與激動實在是太棒了。我也希望下個月我可以在洋基隊看到更多次這種慶祝的場面。 Players always say that champagne celebrations never get old. I agree. No, I didn't have the chance to spray bubbly on players, and I wasn't being doused like they were (though Tony Pena took aim at a couple of us and managed to share the wealth), but the smell of a locker room covered in champagne is something very unique. Watching grown men (and Shelley Duncan, the man-child) go nuts, jump around and chant while soaking each other with champagne and beer is quite something. After all of the pressure the Yankees had to deal with during this incredible season, this was a chance for them to let it all out and have some fun with each other. Is it the ultimate goal? Far from it. I watched the 2001 team celebrate the AL East title with a somber toast (it was about two weeks after Sept. 11, and they opted to forego the standard mayhem), then let it all out after winning both the Division Series and ALCS. But the eerie silence in the clubhouse after they lost Game 7 was something I had never seen. In 2003, they celebrated after Aaron Boone's walkoff homer in a way I have never seen, even on TV. That clubhouse at Yankee Stadium was the wildest place I had ever been, and that will go down as the greatest game I have covered in my career. Even a World Series win would be hard to top that one. But tonight, the celebration in the visiting clubhouse at the Trop was different. There were no “AL East champs” t-shirts, no hats being passed around. There was just raw emotion. Young players like Duncan and Joba Chamberlain were taking it all in as expected, yelling and screaming at the top of their lungs with each drop that hit them. (Joba gets my favorite line of the night: After having two ice cold beers poured over his head, he shrieked that they were freezing, then said, “Dude, my nipples are so hard!” Classic.) I also saw one of the most bizarre things ever, as Kyle Farnsworth's five-year-old son, Stone, walked around with a can of Budweiser while several players bent down so he could pour some beer on their heads. Virtually every player in there had some nice words about Joe Torre, who has been the glue that held this clubhouse together during the tough times. Torre and Derek Jeter embraced and shared a moment. Duncan gave Torre a huge bear hug and thanked him for the opportunity to play for the Yankees this season, tears running down his face. A-Rod also spent a few close minutes with Torre, who seemed to have some sincere words to share with the man he batted eighth last October. It was quite a night. This team that started 21-29 was left for dead by many people. I always thought they had a chance to reach the postseason, though there were one or two days when I questioned why I ever thought that. But now they're there. As a beat writer, it's nice to see the guys you cover all year experience such thrills as this. I hope we get to see this celebration a few more times next month. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.132.198.21 ※ 編輯: leddy 來自: 220.132.198.21 (09/28 23:28)
