: A-Rod在出席沒有險性的新書簽名會活動時,當他手拿著新書給記者拍照時,一個手拿
: 相機的中年男子向A-Rod丟了一顆球,很明顯的他是要向A-Rod索取簽名,那顆球打到天
: 花板,然後掉到地上(如果球丟準一點會打到A-Rod).
: It seemed like a harmless enough event for Alex Rodriguez — a book signing
: for his new children’s book at a Barnes & Noble store in Midtown Manhattan.
: But the distractions began shortly after Rodriguez, the Yankees’ third
: baseman, arrived around 1:30 p.m. yesterday.
A-Rod在一個新童書簽名會上，遇到了一件無關痛癢的事件。
這個簽名會舉辦在曼哈頓市中心的 Barnes & Noble store，(芝麻街?)_
A-Rod在下午一點半到達會場後不久，這件事情的發生吸引了目光。
: As Rodriguez posed for photographers holding a copy of the book, “Out of the
: Ballpark” (HarperCollins), a middle-aged man holding a camera tossed a
: baseball at Rodriguez, apparently because he wanted an autograph. The ball
: hit the ceiling — if thrown more accurately it could have hit Rodriguez —
: and then bounced on the floor. The man then scooted out of the store.
A-Rod 拿著童書"Out of the park"、正擺姿勢供攝影師照相時，一個拿著相機
的中年男子將一顆紅線球丟向A-Rod--顯然他想要一個簽名。這顆球命中到了天花板
如果丟的更準一點則可能打到A-Rod。然後這顆球掉到地板上，同時，這個丟球的
中年男子迅速的逃出這家店。
: Later, as reporters spoke with Rodriguez, a publicist from HarperCollins
: quickly tried to end the questions. Rodriguez kept talking and a reporter
: from Newsday was grabbed by a police officer and pushed away. In his brief
: conversation with reporters, Rodriguez skirted a question about opting out of
: his 10-year, $252 million contract at the end of this season, saying, “My
: situation and my only goal is to win a world championship, and I am going to
: take it day to day.”
稍後 記者向A-Rod提問，此時童書作者的發言人試圖快速的結束記者的發問，A-Rod
持續的回答記者的問題時，一個Newsday的記者被警察架離會場。在A-Rod的簡短談話
中，他迴避了記者有關於他這個球季結束後，十年合約中球員選擇權的問題。
他說："我目前的態度以及我唯一的目標就是贏一個總冠軍，我每天都是這樣想"
: Rodriguez is going into the seventh year of his deal, and his fourth season
: with the Yankees. Under the terms of the contract, he has the right to walk
: away from the final three years of the deal and sign a new contract with the
: Yankees or any other team.
: Rodriguez’s agent, Scott Boras, told The Associated Press yesterday that
: Rodriguez was happy in New York, and that he and Rodriguez would probably not
: talk about the contract until after the season.
今年是A-Rod合約的第七年，同時也是在洋基的第四年，依照當初合約的內容，
第八到十年A-Rod有權力可以跳脫合約，與洋基或者其他任何球隊簽訂新合約。
A-Rod的經紀人 Scott Boras向媒體表示，A-Rod在紐約很開心，並且他與A-Rod
在今年球季結束之前，將暫時不會討論未來是否使用跳脫條款等問題。
呼 ~ 接力接力 翻得好累
: “Obviously, when Alex’s contract was done, the revenues of the game were
: around $3 billion,” Boras said. “Now they are around $6 billion. The elite
: position player has not been really graded in this new revenue stream we’ve
: seen.” Translation: Rodriguez, in Boras’s opinion, can probably make more
: money with a new deal after this season.
: Rodriguez, meanwhile, said that he did not believe he had anything to repair
: with Manager Joe Torre, who, in frustration, dropped Rodriguez to eighth in
: the batting order for Game 4 of last season’s playoff series against
: Detroit. Rodriguez had only one hit through the first three games of that
: series.
: “I am an employee,” Rodriguez said. “If Joe says take out the garbage, I
: take out the garbage.”
: JETER EXPECTS CLEMENS TO PITCH Derek Jeter said he expected Roger Clemens to
: pitch this season. But Jeter, the Yankees’ captain, said he was not sure
: where Clemens might wind up.
: “The only thing I’ll say about Rocket is he hasn’t decided if he’s going
: to come back yet,” Jeter said yesterday after a workout in Tampa, Fla. “If
: you ask me what I think, I would think he would.”
: Clemens, 44, has said he will not make a decision on returning for a 24th
: major league season until sometime after spring training. The Yankees, the
: Astros and the Boston Red Sox are the top three contenders for Clemens’s
: services. (AP)
: FOLLOWING THE DOCTOR’S ADVICE Red Sox Manager Terry Francona does not expect
: Jonathan Papelbon to move back into the bullpen, even though it would make
: his life easier.
: “If I had my druthers, he would be our closer,” Francona said yesterday, a
: day before heading to Florida to get an early start on spring training. “It’
: s not happening. We have to respect the medical people’s advice.”
: As a rookie in 2006, Papelbon saved 35 games in 41 opportunities despite a
: shoulder injury that caused him to cut his season short in September.
: Because of the injury — a tired shoulder, but short of the torn labrum he
: feared — doctors recommended that Papelbon pitch in the rotation this season
: so he would have a more regular and predictable schedule. (AP)
: HARANG AGREES TO DEAL The right-hander Aaron Harang avoided arbitration
: yesterday by agreeing to a four-year, $36.5 million contract that made him
: the Cincinnati Reds’ highest-paid pitcher. Harang emerged as one of the
: National League’s top starters last season, tying for the league lead with
: 16 wins and leading the N.L. with 216 strikeouts and 6 complete games.(AP)
