Joe counts back from 11
Seeks fitting end to second decade
JUPITER, Fla. - Joe Torre sits in the visiting manager's office at Roger
Dean Stadium, his brother Frank across the desk from him, another spring
training morning beginning here, way down at the end of the left-field line,
across the state of Florida from Legends Field. Both Joe and Frank Torre are
old Milwaukee Braves, and on this morning Joe is talking about Warren Spahn,
and what it was like to catch Spahn, and how at dinner the night before, at
a place down the road called Carmine's, 86-year-old Stan Musial had reminded
Joe Torre that he used to hit Spahn pretty good.
Joe Torre坐在Roger Dean球場客隊經理辦公室
他老哥Frank(謝樓下uranusjr指點)坐在對面
兄弟倆都是老Milwaukee 勇士人
又是一個春訓早晨的開始
這天他們聊到怎樣蹲捕Warren Spahn的球
還有昨天晚上在Carmine吃飯時 86歲的Stan Musial提到Joe以前打Spahn打得不錯
"I remember," Joe Torre told Musial.
"我記得"Joe回答
And now at Roger Dean Stadium, he tells about how Spahn dropped down one day
and tried to sidearm Musial, thinking maybe he could fool him that way. Torre
said that usually when a lefthanded pitcher did that with a lefthanded
hitter, you saw the hitter flinch a little. Not Musial. Torre said he saw the
great Musial set his shoulder. Dig in even more.
而現在在Roger Dean球場 他聊到有天Spahn用側投來對付Musial
以為可以愚弄他 通常左投可以那樣剋左打 但對Musial不行
他看到偉大的Musial修正肩膀位置 挖得更深
"When you see that as a catcher, all you think is, 'Oh ---,'" Torre said.
老托說"這時做捕手的心裡想'喔 ~~~"
Musial hit a line drive that hit Spahn right where he would have been wearing
a cup if he had been wearing one that day, and down went a pitcher who would
eventually win 363 games in the big leagues. But he reached over on the
ground, picked up the ball, threw out Musial at first base.
Musial打擊出去 球滾向Spahn右邊 這位擁有大聯盟363場勝利的投手攔下球
撿起傳向一壘封殺了Musial
"Musial ran past us on his way back to the dugout," Joe Torre says. "He
slowed down long enough to say, 'You okay, old man?' and just kept running."
老托說"Musial跑回休息室的途中 還刻意放慢腳步問我們說 OK嗎?老傢伙"
He laughs, so does his brother, so does everybody in the room, at this story
out of Joe Torre's other baseball life, one that goes back to names like
Spahn and Musial. It is the baseball life he had before he became the manager
who made the Yankees what they were when both he and his brother were
Brooklyn kids in the '40s and '50s. Before he became the most famous manager
in Yankee history, the most popular and, even without as many World Series as
others before him had, perhaps even the best.
他笑了 房間裡人也是 這是老托嘴裡的棒球生活 有一些像Spahn和Musial的名字出現
這是他們兄弟在40 50年代還是布魯克林小子時的棒球生活
也是他成為洋基教練前的棒球生活
而現在他是洋基隊史上最有名 最受歡迎 擁有最多世界大賽冠軍
甚至可以說是最好的教練
"I always understood the requirements of the (Yankee) uniform," he says in
Jupiter on this morning. "From the very first day."
他說"我從第一天來就知道條紋衣的使命"
Only the requirements weren't the same when he first put on the uniform. The
Yankees weren't the Yankees. They were nearly 20 years away from their last
world championship. When they had made the playoffs - as a wild-card team -
in 1995, it was their first playoff appearance in 14 years. Then Torre's
Yankees won it all in '96. Before long, Torre's Yankees had won four World
Series in five years. So he came here and changed the requirements, along
with Jeter and Rivera and Bernie and Posada, a remarkable core that still
holds to this day, even if Bernie Williams is no longer the Yankee starter in
center field.
不過和他第一次穿上條紋衣不同 那時洋基一點也不像洋基
已經將近20年沒拿到世界冠軍 而1995年以外卡資格打進季後賽則是14年來的第一次
並在1996年贏得冠軍 沒多久Torre帶領的洋基隊五年內贏得四屆世界冠軍
他和Jeter Rivera Bernie Posadae共同改變整個洋基隊
而這個核心到現在都還存在 只是老威已經不再是先發的中外野手
It is why, over his first 10 years in a Yankee uniform, he has been the
single most significant top-manager in all of professional sports, one of the
most significant in all of sports history, even if you think he should have
won even more than he has, because of all the money spent on players, all the
talent he has had in the room.
這十年的表現讓他足以成為各項職業運動中最具意義最頂尖的教練
即便有人認為以他手上所有的一流好手和金錢後盾 應該贏得更多
Now he begins his second decade as Yankee manager. He won those four World
Series in the first five years, none in the next five years. Act 1 and Act 2.
Now comes Act 3, his final act as Yankee manager whether it is for one year,
or two, or more. He knows the requirements this season, his 11th season with
the Yankees, better than any Yankee fan alive, better than the Yankee owner,
better than anybody. George Steinbrenner has spent a billion dollars in salary
and taxes the last five years and hasn't won.
第一幕 五年四個冠軍 第二幕 五年一個都沒有
現在 第三幕 也可能是最後一幕 不管後面還有一年兩年 或更多
執掌洋基兵符第十一個年頭
他比球迷 老闆 比任何人都知道這個球季他的使命
Torre's Yankees are supposed to win again.
老托的洋基應該要贏
Or else.
不然咧
