Quotations From Alex Rodriguez
"Always follow your dreams, don't let anyone tell you that you can't be
something."
"Anyone can forget about talent, but if you're a good person, your name
will be remembered a long time."
"Be respectful. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Respect the
lowest rank and the highest rank and you'll never get in trouble."
"Enjoy your sweat because hard work doesn't guarantee success, but
without it, you don't have a chance."
"Getting the contract helped me more than anything. I was concerned
around the trading deadline and thought the Mariners would trade me for
either (Jaime) Moyer or (Pat) Hentgen."
"I'd rather have a Gold Glove (Award) than a Silver Slugger (Award).
Defense is so much more of a team game and one of my goals this year was
to make fewer than twenty-five errors."
"I love the challenge of the game. I love the work. My goal right now is
to have a season next year that will make people forget about this one.
I'll use things like this for motivation. I'm pumped. I'm hungry."
"I'm a terrible singer. I feel lucky to play baseball. You can't be
gifted in everything."
"I'm excited (after hitting for the cycle), but I guess it hasn't hit me
yet. I'm only the second Mariner to do it and the other is Jay Buhner,
who can't run."
"I'm having a hard time finding a date. I don't trust any women I meet.
I'm very skeptical."
"I'm not a real vocal guy, but sometimes you need to kick someone in the
ass."
"I'm not impulsive at all ?except about buying clothes. That's my biggest
weakness."
"I need to make more contact. I struck out more than one-hundred times. I
can cut down on my errors and I'd like to steal thirty or forty bags. I
made a lot of dumb baserunning mistakes this year."
"I want to be known as a good major-leaguer, and good major-leaguers work
to become good."
"I want to step forward. I don't want to step on anyone's toes doing it.
If I do, too bad."
"Keep reading books, stay in school. I encourage kids to read as much as
they can, I challenge you to read a book every two weeks, like I try to."
"Last year I would have paid anything to watch a Major League game. This
year I'm playing in one."
"Leadership is a role you have to earn in order to be effective."
"Like I say, it's almost embarassing to talk about. I don't know if
Michael Jordan or Bill Gates or Alexander the Great or anyone is worth
this type of money, but that's the market we're in today. That's what Mr.
Hicks decided to pay me, and now it's time to pay him back and win a
couple championships."
"Looks aren't the number one thing. They have to have class,
intelligence, then looks. If I was the ugliest SOB in the world it would
be a lot easier."
"Some things are meant to be and if it was, you will know it."
"The only stage I need is the World Series."
"There is a difference between image and reputation. Image is nice,
reputation is developed over an entire career. Reputation is what I'm
searching for."
"This whole year has been a learning experience. There are still a lot of
areas in which I think I can improve."
"We have a responsibility not just as atheletes, but as members of
society to treat people well. To do things the right way."
"We (Derek Jeter and I) want to kill each other. I think we both drive
each other and motivate each other. But, when we're off the field, we're
like family. I think the nice thing about it is we became good friends
before we even mad it to the big leagues. That makes it more of a healthy
relationship."
"We (Derek Jeter and I) always talk about getting old, gray, and fat when
our careers are over and just having a good time. He's like me. He wants
to have a good time and be a good person. It's a weird situation for us.
It's just like we're looking in the mirror. the only difference is I'm on
the West Coast and he's on the East Coast."
"What I've learned from Cal is to respect the game, respect the fans.
Nothing fancy out there. Just do your job."
"Why do people sing Take Me Out to The Ballgame when they're already
there?"
"You can take my cars or my house, just don't mess with my clothes."
Quotations About Alex Rodriguez
"Alex is going to be among the elite. If he comes even close to the
season he had last year, he'll be in his own league. You try to compare
him to somebody, but you can't. He is the only one who has done what he
has done." - Alan Trammell
"Alex is playful, enthusiastic, and cheerful. He's fun to have around." -
Ken Griffey, Jr.
"He is what baseball needs right now. He respects the game, has a lot of
class and image most people would pay for. I wish my daughter could marry
him, but she's only two years old." - Gary DiSarcina
"He learned in one or two years what it took me ten years to learn. He
uses the whole field, foul line to foul line." - Edgar Martinez
"I'm Alex's biggest fan. I brag on him so much that my teammates are sick
and tired of me talking about him. Last year we talked all the time,
especially early in the season. We both knew if we didn't get off to a
good start, we might be shipped out." - Derek Jeter
"Last season, Alex probably did Edgar (Martinez) better than Edgar did.
It's amazing. With Alex, success comes with his strength, with his
timing, with his weight shift, with his hands. Another year of two like
that, kids will all be copying Alex. A lot of them probably are now." -
Tony Gwynn
"Money and fame are like dust. You aren't worth anything if you don't
stay the same person you were before you had them." - Lourdes Navarro
(Alex Rodriguez's mother)
"Of course I voted for him as Player of the Year; who wouldn't? He took
some inside-out swings against us that landed ten rows deep in
right-center. He has done some amazing things at the most demanding
position other than catcher. And he's what, only twenty-one? When I was
twenty-one, I was sitting in class thinking I was going to be a high
school teacher. He's out winning a batting title." - Gary DiSarcina
"The great thing is that he's always looking to improve. How good can he
be? Well, we're talking about a guy who is Hall of Fame caliber." - Lou
Piniella

: couple championships."
「就像是我所說的，不過說起來有點丟人就是了。我不知道包括麥可‧喬登、
比爾‧蓋茲，甚至亞力山大大帝在內，有沒有任何一個人值這麼多錢，但那
就是今天的市場機制。希克先生決定付我錢，而現在正是以贏得幾座冠軍金
盃來回饋他的最佳時機。」

: relationship."
「我想，Jeter和我彼此都想幹掉對方，我們彼此鞭策激勵著彼此。但是，當我們
走出球場後，就像是一家人一樣。我認為這是件好事，我們在進大聯盟之前就是
好朋友了，這讓我們倆的關係非常健康。」
: "We (Derek Jeter and I) always talk about getting old, gray, and fat when
: our careers are over and just having a good time. He's like me. He wants

: Quotations About Alex Rodriguez
給A-Rod的話
: "Alex is going to be among the elite. If he comes even close to the
: season he had last year, he'll be in his own league. You try to compare
: him to somebody, but you can't. He is the only one who has done what he
: has done." - Alan Trammell
Alan Trammell說：
「A-Rod正擠進超級巨星之列。他本季只要能達到跟他去年差不多的成績，那麼他
的對手便只剩下自己了。你想拿別人跟他相比，但這辦不到。他的成就是獨一
無二的。」
: "Alex is playful, enthusiastic, and cheerful. He's fun to have around." -
: Ken Griffey, Jr.
小葛說：
「A-Rod這個人愛玩、熱情又好相處，有他在身邊很快樂。」
: "He is what baseball needs right now. He respects the game, has a lot of
: class and image most people would pay for. I wish my daughter could marry
: him, but she's only two years old." - Gary DiSarcina
Gary DiSarcina說：
「A-Rod是棒球最需要的人才。他尊重比賽，他的形象與品味讓人願意買票入場。」
「我希望我女兒可以嫁給他，可惜她現在才二歲。」
: "He learned in one or two years what it took me ten years to learn. He
: uses the whole field, foul line to foul line." - Edgar Martinez
Edgar Martinez說：
「我花了十年才學會的東西，他一、二年就搞定了。二條界外線間，整個球場都是
他的。」
: "I'm Alex's biggest fan. I brag on him so much that my teammates are sick
: and tired of me talking about him. Last year we talked all the time,
: especially early in the season. We both knew if we didn't get off to a
: good start, we might be shipped out." - Derek Jeter
Derek Jeter說：
「我是A-Rod的頭號球迷。我吹捧他吹到隊友們都覺得噁心了，每次講到A-Rod隊友
就嫌煩。去年我們聊了許多，尤其是季初左右，我們都知道要是不趕緊打出些好
成績，我們都可能被送走。」
: "Last season, Alex probably did Edgar (Martinez) better than Edgar did.
: It's amazing. With Alex, success comes with his strength, with his
: timing, with his weight shift, with his hands. Another year of two like
: that, kids will all be copying Alex. A lot of them probably are now." -
: Tony Gwynn
Tony Gwynn說：
「上一季，A-Rod大概比Edgar還Edgar，這太神奇了！有了A-Rod，勝利便隨著他的
力量、他的節奏、他的盡忠職守與他那雙巧手而來。再等個一、二年吧，要是他
還是這麼棒，那麼一堆模仿他的小A-Rod就會出現了。等一下，搞不好現在就有一
堆了呢。」
: "Money and fame are like dust. You aren't worth anything if you don't
: stay the same person you were before you had them." - Lourdes Navarro
: (Alex Rodriguez's mother)
A-Rod媽說：
「兒呀！名與利如塵土，如果你不能保持原來的模樣，那你啥也不是呀！」
: "Of course I voted for him as Player of the Year; who wouldn't? He took
: some inside-out swings against us that landed ten rows deep in
: right-center. He has done some amazing things at the most demanding
: position other than catcher. And he's what, only twenty-one? When I was
: twenty-one, I was sitting in class thinking I was going to be a high
: school teacher. He's out winning a batting title." - Gary DiSarcina
Gary DiSarcina又說：
「廢話！我當然選他為年度球員呀！誰不是呢！？他賞了我們幾記因賽傲的揮棒，
球兒都落在中右外野觀眾席十排以後。他在重要性僅次於捕手的位置上做到了許
多神奇的事，然後，什麼！？他才２１歲！？回想我自己２１歲時，還坐在教室
板凳上幻想著將來我要當一個高中老師哩！他卻已經在這兒贏得一個打擊頭銜了。」
: "The great thing is that he's always looking to improve. How good can he
: be? Well, we're talking about a guy who is Hall of Fame caliber." - Lou
: Piniella
Lou Piniella說：
「他最大的優點在於他知進取。他到底會有多棒呢？嘿，我們可是在談一個夠資格
進名人堂的傢伙耶！」
