Padres pitcher Woody Williams took the mound at 6:05 p.m. PT to make his scheduled start on Sept. 4 against the Rockies, just as he does every fifth day. padres的投手woody williams在6:05分上場預定要先發對上rockies，就像他一如往常的投一休四。 But at 9 a.m. that morning, he was at a San Diego-area Target store with a much more important job to do than the one he gets paid for. 但在那天早上九點，他有更重要的事要去做就是去San Diego-area Target商店。 The 40-year-old right-hander hosted a shopping spree for 125 kindergarten-fifth grade students, designed to give school supplies and clothes to disadvantaged children in the San Diego area. 這個40歲的老投手為125個幼稚園五年級的小朋友主持了一個shopping宴會，為一些困苦的小孩子提供衣服，學校補給品在聖地牙哥地區。 Williams is in his second stint with the Padres, playing in San Diego during the 2000 and 2001 seasons before returning in 2005. Despite a calf injury that caused him to miss about 2 1/2 months, he's been one of the Padres' more dependable starters this season, posting a 7-5 record and a 3.91 ERA 在2000跟2001年球季為padres打球期間跟2005年回到padres，這是williams會在padres以外的時間做的，雖然小腿骨受傷讓他缺席了2 1/2個月，但他還是padres最倚重的投手之一，目前為7w-5l 3.91era。 The Padres, like Williams' previous two teams, can depend on him not only to pitch well, but to find ways to help the community. padres跟williams之前呆的那兩支球隊一樣，不僅會讓他除了投球外也會讓他有空閒時間去照顧社區。 "It's very important. The main thing is there is so many people without," said the Houston native. "A lot of times, not just ball players, but all of us forget how blessed we are. "這很重要，這東西很重要但是現今人們不重視他""不是只有球員，許多的時間，我們全部人都忘了感恩的心。"這個houston土生土長的williams說。 "I believe giving back is the most important way to show our appreciation and show that it's not about us. It's about those less fortunate. A lot of times, the less fortunate are the most happy because it's simple." "我相信回饋是很重要的路來證明我們的感激跟證明不光是為了我們，這是關於少少的幸福許多時間，這少少的幸福是最快樂的，因為這很簡單就做到了。" Baseball has shown it's appreciation to Williams for his hard work off the field. He was the first player to twice earn the Padres Chairman Award (2005, 2000), given to one player each season for work in the community. This year, Williams is the Padres' nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award. 棒球這份工作是williams在他工作之餘時可以去實現他的感恩心，他是第一個得過兩次 Padres Chairman獎(2005 2000)，這獎是頒給球員在球季裡服務社區，今年williams是 Roberto Clemente獎padres裡被提名的人。 Williams is heavily involved in the Special Olympics, making visits and speaking to the athletes during their events, while purchasing 100 tickets each homestand for Special Olympians and providing them with food vouchers for a hot dog and a drink at the game. williams在殘障奧運裡有很多的付出，去拜訪運動員聊一些他們比賽的事，且他還自掏腰包購買100張門票還有提供他們在比賽中吃的熱狗跟飲料。 The Clemente Award recognizes the player who best exemplifies the game of baseball, sportsmanship, community involvement and the individual's contribution to his team. It is named in honor of the former Pirates outfielder whose spirit and goodwill will always be remembered. Clemente died in a plane crash while attempting to transport relief supplies to earthquake-stricken Nicaragua on Dec. 31, 1972. Clemente獎的標準是在棒球比賽中有好的典範，具有運動家精神服務社區參與，跟在自己隊上個人的貢獻，這個獎是紀念一個海盜隊的外野手他的靈魂跟他的親善讓大家記住他的偉大，Roberto Clemente死於一場空難，在1972年12月31號當時那架飛機載運著一些救援物資來給當時尼加拉瓜大地震受傷的災民。 The winner will be announced during the World Series. 這獎的得主會在世界大賽期間公佈。 While Williams' manger, Bruce Bochy, said he feels many players do a great job of getting involved and giving their time and money to various causes, Williams is one of the most giving he's come across. The right-hander has donated $72,500 of his own money to the Padres Scholars program, an initiative where Padres owners and players underwrite college scholarships for middle school students, broken up in $5,000 increments. williams的教練bochy說他知道許多球員會去參與這些偉大的事，利用他們的時間跟金錢來去做這些，williams是這些人其中一個，提供一些需求品給所需要的人。williams捐贈了72500美金給Padres Scholars(是給一些想念書的窮困孩童獎學金)，且主動發起paders 老闆跟球員簽署大學獎學金來幫助一些高中生想念大學，分成5000美金一次一次贊助。 "Woody's one of the leaders," Bochy said. "He leads with the way he's donated time and money. "woody是我們的頭頭""他用他的時間跟金錢來帶領我們走這條路"bochy說 "He's always accepted that responsibility. Since I've known him, this is one of the most generous men I've been around." "在我認識他時他總是大家最公認尊敬的人，他是我身邊的人裡最有雅量的人"。 source:http://0rz.net/fc1O6 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.129.224.206
