Fan returns 3,000th hit to Jeter, team rewards his generosity By 'Duk As a 23-year-old cell phone salesman, Christian Lopez had thousands of reasons to hold out for the highest bidder on the baseball from Derek Jeter's(notes) 3,000th hit. In fact, some estimates put the ball's worth at $250,000, money that the recent graduate from St. Lawrence University could have certainly used. And yet when New York Yankees officials found Lopez after he corralled Jeter's historic home run, the only thing that the big Yankees fan wanted was to return the ball to the man who had hit it. 身為一個23歲的手機推銷員，Christian Lopez有一大堆理由把這個球留著，等待最高出價者購買Jeter這顆第三千安打的小白球。事實上，有人估計這球價值約25萬美元，這筆大錢對一位剛從St. Lawrence大學畢業的社會新鮮人真的很好用。然而就在Lopez搶下Jeter這顆有重大歷史意義的全壘打球後，洋基隊官方找來Lopez，這位死忠洋基迷唯一的願望就是把球還給擊中它的人。 Yes, Lopez was willing to just give away what seemed like a sure lottery ticket "No, not really," Lopez said when Yankees announcer Michael Kay later asked him if he asked for anything in return. "He deserves this, he's worked hard for this ... I'm not the type of person to take this away from him." 是的，Lopez真的願意放棄這顆看起來像是樂透大獎的球。當洋基主播Michael Kay問到，他是否想要一些回報。Lopez這樣說的：『沒啦，沒這回事，這是Jeter應得的，他這麼努力就是為了這顆球.......，我不是那種人，不會把這球從他身上奪走。』 That's a pretty nice gesture, no doubt. But lest you think the Yankees were just going to take the ball away without any compensation, they rewarded Lopez's generosity with a pretty nice package. According to Kay, Lopez will receive four tickets to a suite for every remaining game at Yankee Stadium this season (including any possible playoff games) plus first row Legends Suite tickets to Sunday's game. He will also receive an assortment of bats and jerseys, plus the opportunity to meet Jeter. 這是一個相當不錯的行為，毫無疑問。但為了避免讓你認為洋基只拿了球卻沒有任何補償，他們用一套相當不錯的禮物，來答謝Lopez的大方。據Kay所說，Lopez 將會收到每場四張貴賓室門票，在本季還未打的每場洋基主場比賽都能進場(包含任何季後賽)，還加上週日比賽第一排座位的 Legends Suite門票。他還會收到各式的球棒和球衣，還加上可以和Jeter碰面。 Update: And, topping it off, a 5-4 Yankees victory in which Jeter drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth to cap a 5 for 5 day in the batter's box. Lopez was a guest of honor at one of the best Yankees games of the season. Not a bad haul for someone who was at the game on birthday tickets he received from his girlfriend. And while there are going to be plenty of people who question his decision, I'm guessing that the integrity Lopez showed in returning the ball to Jeter is going to benefit him in his life and future career as well. What would you have done? 而且更猛的是，在洋基以5比4贏得勝利的比賽裡，Jeter在八局打了超前分，繳出了 5打數5安打的亮麗成績。Lopez有幸成為貴賓，參與洋基本季其中最棒的一場比賽。從女朋友手上收到的生日禮物是棒球比賽的門票，實在不賴。儘管有許多人會質疑他的決定，但我猜Lopez把球完整的還給Jeter，對他的未來人生反倒有益。如果接到球的是你，你會怎麼做？ http://tinyurl.com/3qw7gfe ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Watch an interview with Lopez on YES http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=16785049 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.60.223.108
