前洋基球員，七屆世界大賽冠軍成員Hank Bauer享年84歲。

NEW YORK -- Hank Bauer, a key component of seven New York Yankees World Series
championship clubs, died Friday after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was 84.
Bauer played 14 seasons in the Major Leagues from 1948-61, his first 12 with
the Yankees. A three-time All-Star outfielder, he batted .277 with 164 home
runs and 703 RBIs in 1,544 games, and helped the Yankees to nine American
League pennants.

在經過與癌症長期對抗後，Hank Bauer這位七屆世界大賽冠軍的重要成員，在周五與世長
辭。Bauer在大聯盟的14個球季(1948-1961)中，前12年都待在洋基。這位三次入選明星賽
的外野手，生涯共出賽1544場比賽，留下2成77打擊率、164發全壘打以及703分打點的成
績，並幫助洋基九度拿下美聯冠軍。

"Hank Bauer is an emblem of a generation that helped shape the landscape of
our country," Yankees principal owner George Steinbrenner said in a
statement.

洋基老闆Steinbrenner發表聲明表示，"Hank Bauer是那個時期球員的象徵，也是紐約的代
表。

"He was a natural leader and a teammate in every sense of the word, and his
contributions went well beyond the baseball field. His service to the
Yankees, his country, and his family shows why I have been so privileged to
call him a friend."

"在任何方面，他都是個天生的領袖，在球場外更是貢獻良多。他為洋基、家鄉和家人所做
的奉獻，我真的很榮幸能成為他的朋友。"

A strong runner and fielder with a powerful arm, Bauer became an accomplished
Major League manager after his playing career. He earned Manager of the Year
honors at the helm of the Baltimore Orioles in 1964 and 1966, including one
World Series title.

球場上，他是腳程飛快，臂力強勁的外野手。結束球員生涯後，他成為大聯盟球隊的總管
。掌管金鶯隊的時期中，他在1964及1966兩度贏得最佳總管的肯定，並贏得一座世界冠軍
。

Bauer was traded to the Kansas City Athletics as part of a deal that brought
Roger Maris to the Yankees prior to the 1960 season. While Bauer's
association with the club ended, his friendships with many Yankees teammates
endured for decades.

在1960年球季，Bauer被交易到堪薩斯，換來Roger Maris。在Bauer的洋基生涯結束後，他
與洋基隊友的友誼依舊延續著。

"I am truly heartbroken," Yogi Berra said. "Hank was a wonderful teammate and
friend for so long. Nobody was more dedicated and proud to be a Yankee, he
gave you everything he had."

"我真的很難過，" Yogi Berra說 "Hank是一個好隊友和好朋友，沒人比他為洋基奉獻的更
多。"

Bauer guided the Kansas City Athletics in 1962 and 1963, then moved on to
spend five years with the Orioles before finishing his managerial career with
Oakland in 1969. In eight seasons as a big-league manager, Bauer compiled a
record of 594-534.

Bauer在1962及1963年執教堪薩斯運動家，隨後到巴爾的摩金鶯執教五個球季，最後在奧克
蘭結束他的教練生涯。在大聯盟執教了八季，Bauer的成績是594勝534負。

The youngest of nine children, Bauer was born to a blue-collar background in
East St. Louis, Ill., and went on to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps. Battling
malaria in the South Pacific, Bauer earned 11 campaign ribbons, two Bronze
Stars and two Purple Hearts in 32 months of combat.

Bauer出生於聖路易的藍領家庭，在九個孩子中排行老么。他曾於美國海軍擔任醫務工作，
在南太平洋對抗瘧疾，在32個月的服務期間，Bauer獲得11枚勳章緞帶、兩枚銅星勳章*、
兩枚紫心勳章*。

His gruff military background translated to his playing career, which
delivered him to the Yankees for a 1948 debut.

1948年他初次在洋基亮相，而他的軍事經歷，影響他之後的職業生涯。

As a tough presence in the clubhouse, Bauer is said to have chastised a young
Mickey Mantle for not running out a ground ball, yelling, "Don't fool with my
money" -- a reference to the regularity with which Bauer cashed Yankees World
Series checks.

他的牛脾氣是眾所週知的，傳說他曾經為了年輕的Mickey Mantle沒有在接滾地球時跑起來
，而大吼"Don't fool with my money"--他是為了兌現讓洋基進入世界大賽的支票。

Indeed, many of Bauer's most memorable moments with the Yankees came in
October. Bauer contributed a game-saving catch to rob the Giants' Sal Yvars
in the 1951 Fall Classic, and set a World Series record with a 17-game
hitting streak from 1956-58.

的確，Bauer令人緬懷的時刻大多在十月。1951年世界大賽，Bauer接殺了巨人隊的
Sal Yvars，幫助球隊獲勝；1956到1958年間，他更在世界大賽創下連17場安打的紀錄。

"Maybe I bore down a lot more in the Series," Bauer told the Kansas City
Star. "I had my luck. I had my good days and bad ones. I played for the right
organization."

"我從世界大賽系列得到了許多，" Bauer在接受堪薩斯星報採訪時說， "我很幸運，我的
生涯有好也有壞，不過我待在很棒的球隊。"
