http://0rz.tw/372PD Biggio not second best in class of '90s 90年代 老帅哥当第二 没人敢称第一 HOUSTON -- When he retired following the 1997 season, there wasn't much doubt Ryne Sandberg would eventually wind up in the Hall of Fame, even though the final years of his playing career saw Sandberg's numbers fall off from their usual levels. Sure enough, when he was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2005, Sandberg went in because he was arguably the best second baseman of his era (the 1980s) -- a player who could hit, hit for power, run and play Gold Glove caliber defense at a very demanding position. 当Ryne Sandberg在1997年退休时 几乎没有人会怀疑他最後会进入名人堂 即使在他生涯最後的几年成绩退化 没办法展现他正常水准 但是当他获选进入名人堂时 无疑的他是在他的年代中(1980's)最好的二垒手 一个会打 打的远 还会跑 并且是一个在一个极难的守备位置上的金手套 Some day Houston's Craig Biggio will make it to Cooperstown, and as well he should, because like Sandberg before him, Biggio was the best second baseman of his era and the player who set the standard for all-around excellence at the position. 某天休士顿的Biggio也会搬到古柏镇去 他一定会 他就像是Sandberg一样 Biggio是在他的年代中最好的二垒手 他在他的守备位置上建立了一个全能选手的典范 There are some who will argue that Roberto Alomar or Jeff Kent will be remembered as the best second baseman of the 1990s, but both come up short in comparison to Biggio. 也许有些人会说Roberto Alomar或Jeff Kent才是大家记忆中90年代最好的二垒手 但是比起Biggio他们两个发光的时间太过短暂了 Alomar and Biggio first reached the Major Leagues in 1988, though Alomar retired following the 2004 season. Alomar appeared in more All-Star Games and won more Gold Gloves than Biggio, but Biggio will finish his career with more hits, homers, RBIs, runs, doubles and total bases. Each stole more than 400 bases. Alomar和Biggio同样在1988年登上大联盟 而Alomar在2004年早一步退休 Alomar获选过较多次的明星赛 也拿过比较多金手套 但是Biggio有更多的安打 全垒打 打点 得分 二垒安打 垒打数 他们两个一样都有超过400次的盗垒 Kent, who broke in in 1992, has hit more homers, but has never won a Gold Glove or ranked among the elite at the position defensively, and has little speed. Kent is the better power hitter, but in terms of all-around skills, he simply doesn't compare to Alomar and Biggio. Kent在1992年登上大联盟舞台 他比较会打全垒打 但是从未拿过金手套 防守也从未被归类在精英的一群中 而且他跑的比较慢 Kent是一个比较好的强打者 但是说到全能他完全没办法和Alomar Biggio相比 All three have won four Silver Slugger Awards as second baseman, but Biggio added a fifth at catcher (1989). Biggio is still the only player to make the All-Star team as a catcher and second baseman. 他们三人都拿过四次银棒奖 但是Biggio有第五个在89年以捕手身分拿下 Biggio仍然是历史中唯一一个能以捕手和二垒手两种身分入选明星赛的球员 Until 2004, the common criticism of Biggio was his poor performance in the postseason -- he'd batted just .111 in his first four playoff series, all losses -- but since then, Biggio has hit .283 (32-for-113) in October with two homers and 10 RBIs to help the Astros reach the National League Championship Series in 2004 and the World Series in 2005. 在04年之前 Biggio最令人诟病的是他在季後赛的超烂表现 他在他前四个季後赛系列中 打击率只有.111 而且全部淘汰出局 但是在那之後 他十月份的打击率.283 (32/113) 2发全垒打 10分打点 帮助太空人打进04年国联冠军赛和05年的世界大赛 Biggio has achieved more than all but only a few second basemen have ever or likely will ever achieve on a Major League diamond. Biggio已经达到绝大多数二垒手无法达到的境界 不论是过去或是未来 The second baseman of the '90s? There shouldn't be any doubt, it's the next member of the 3,000 hit club: Craig Alan Biggio. 90年代最佳二垒手 无疑的是Craig Alan Biggio 3000安俱乐部的新成员 Former Astros first baseman and long-time Biggio friend, Jeff Bagwell is admittedly a fan of his former infield partner, but Bagwell still believes Biggio's numbers speak for themselves in an objective look at his career. Bagwell has no doubt that Biggio deserves to make the Hall of Fame and that Biggio has cemented his place in baseball history. 老帅哥永远的好朋友 太空人的前队友老巴就承认他是他内野守备好夥伴的球迷 老巴说老帅哥的生涯统计纪录自然证明他是个伟大的球员 无疑的他绝对够格进入名人堂 Biggio已经建立他在棒球史上的地位了 "He helped define the position the way it is today," Bagwell said. "First there was Sandberg, then there was Craig, and he has been the best since Sandberg. He's a guy who changed the position." 他是其中一个今日二垒手典范的树立者 前一个是Sandberg 再来就是Biggio 他是Sandberg之後最好的二垒手 他改变了大家对二垒手的看法 Like Sandberg and Joe Morgan before him, Biggio brought middle-of-the-order batting skills to a position usually reserved for slick fielders whose hitting was often viewed as a bonus. 就像他之前的Sandberg 和 Joe Morgan 带着他中段棒次的打击技巧他的守备位置 一个需要高超守备技巧但是打击只是一个加分的守备位置 "He's one of the best," Atlanta manager Bobby Cox said of Biggio. "When you look at the career he's had, all he's meant for [the Astros], he's a guy who can do so many things to beat you. He does a lot of things that you don't usually see from [a second baseman]." 亚特兰大的总教练Cox爷爷说Biggio他是其中一个最棒的球员 你看看他的生涯成绩 他对太空人队代表的意义 它可以用太多的方法击败你 他做出很多二垒手办不到的事 "Bidge has always been a gamer," said Houston manager Phil Garner, who earned the nickname Scrap Iron during his playing days for displaying similar traits. "He plays hard the whole game, he's always set that example, he and Baggy." 太空人的总教练Garner (再他是球员的时候赢得匹配他特质的外号-废铁)说 Bidge (干麻叫Lidge的浑名) 一值都是个战士 (原来Garner叫废铁 ... 还真是适合他 ~.~) Though he usually batted leadoff or second, Biggio's skills in his prime were more comparable to those of a No. 3 hitter. He had the power but he also had that top-of-the-order speed and on-base ability. A rare combination of speed, power and drive, Biggio blended all three to forge a career seldom seen in this game. 虽然Biggio总是打第一或是第二棒 但他生涯中大部分的表现更适合第三棒 他有Power而且有顶级的速度和上垒能力(HBP也是顶级的技巧啊 XD) Biggio是极少数集力量 速度 和打击技巧於一身的球员 In 1995, Biggio led the National League with 123 runs scored, breaking Jimmy Wynn's franchise record of 117 set back in 1972. He scored 146 runs in 1997, the most by a National Leaguer since 1932. That same year he stole 47 bases and banged out 191 hits. In 1998, Biggio batted .325 while setting the franchise record for hits (210) and passing Cesar Cedeno as the club's all-time runs leader. 95年 Biggio得到国联最多的123分 打破Jimmy Wynn在72年的队史纪录 他更在97年得到146分 是国联在1932年之後最好的纪录 同年47次盗垒 打出191支安打 98年他打击率.325 打破队史纪录的210安打 并且超越Cesar Cedeno成为队史上最会得分的人 Biggio has been durable -- he played in a franchise-record 494 consecutive games during a streak that ended on Aug. 5, 1998. That was the year Biggio became only the second player in baseball history to hit 50 doubles and steal 50 bases in the same season. Hall of Famer Tris Speaker did it in 1912. In '99, Biggio hit 56 doubles, the sixth-highest single season total in NL history, while helping Houston reach the playoffs for the third consecutive season. 老帅哥超持久 他有队史上最长的连续494场出赛 直到98年8/5的罢工才中断 那年他成为唯二达成单季50盗50二安的球员 (另一个是名人堂的Tris Speaker 1912年) 99年 他打出56支二安 国联历史上第六高的纪录 也帮助休士顿连三年进入季後赛 During the decade of the '90s, Alomar had a higher batting average than Biggio (.308 to .295) but Biggio had the better on-base percentage (.386 to .382), and though Alomar had the higher slugging percentage by 24 points, it should be noted that Biggio played home games at the cavernous Astrodome in the '90s as the Astros did not move to their new ballpark until the 2000 season. 90年代中 Alomar有较高的打击率(.308-.295) 老帅哥有较高的上垒率(.386-.382) Alomar的长打率多了.024 但是别忘了老帅哥的主场是难打的Astrodome 太空人直到2000年才搬到他们的新主场 If character counts, Biggio scores highly there, too. His contributions to the game on and off the field have been a credit to the man as well as the organization and the Houston community where he has spent his entire career. Biggio never jogged to first on a ground ball or dogged it on the field. Biggio never settled for a single when hustle would get him a double. And Biggio never made negative headlines for his actions as Alomar did in a well-publicized 1996 incident when Alomar was suspended for spitting at umpire John Hirschbeck. 如果人格特质也列入考虑 Biggio也是得到高分的 Biggio在球场上或是球场外对他终生效力的太空人队都有正面的贡献 老帅哥从不慢步跑向一垒即使是软弱的滚地球 (黑肥学这点 不要懒洋洋的) 他也从不去闪躲正面的强劲滚地球 有机会成为二垒安打的球 他不会满足的慢步停在一垒上 相较於Alomar在96年有名的事件(向裁判John Hirschbeck吐口水被禁赛) 老帅哥从来没有在新闻头条上出现负面新闻 Throughout his career, Biggio has been a player who kept his image clean and his uniform dirty. Sometimes an image is just that, an image, not reality, but in Biggio's case, his all-out style of play is not an act. Win or lose, he's always ready to face the music from the media. Those of us who have followed Biggio since he arrived in this city nearly 20 years ago have been fortunate to witness a remarkable career. 在他的生涯中 Biggio球衣永远是脏的形象却是乾净的 形象可能单单是一个印象 并非事实 但是就Biggio而言 竭尽全力的去表现不是演出来的 不论是输或赢 他总是准备好去面对媒体 我们这群在20年前看着他进入这个球队成长的球迷 真是幸运能见证到一个这麽灿烂的球员生涯 The best second baseman of the '90s has slowed down some, but he still plays the game with the same intensity he had as a rookie in '88. And he's still getting that uniform dirty as he hits his way to No. 3,000. 90年代最佳二垒手脚步慢下来的一些 但是他仍然像他88年菜鸟一样积极的参与比赛 在他前往3000安的路上也跟之前一样把他的球衣搞的很脏 -- 3000安达到了 ........ 老帅哥 你可以去打七棒了吗? --
