Smoltz has no interest in running for office Righty says in text congressional seat 'not in my plans' By Mark Bowman / MLB.com 02/28/10 12:55 PM EST Count John Smoltz among those who were surprised about the details of a report that indicated the Republican Party may approach him to campaign to become a U.S. congressman. Atlanta-Journal Constitution political insider Jim Galloway reported on Saturday that Republicans are thinking about approaching Smoltz to run for the congressional seat that will be vacated when U.S. Rep. John Linder retires at the end of his current term. "This is not in my plans," Smoltz replied via a text message on Sunday morning. When asked about this report that was based on information Galloway received from a source in Washington, D.C., Smoltz immediately indicated he felt there was a mixup, and then playfully said that he was sure a number of his friends were having some fun with this information. 亚特兰大日报/宪法报熟悉政治内情的人士Jim Galloway在这个星期六报导，共和党 希望找老史竞选国会席次，原因是因为某位现任众议院议员即将在任期结束後退休，而 到时候就会空出一个位置。老史本人对於这份报导也感到十分惊讶。 "这件事并不在我的计画中。"老史在这个礼拜天早上透过手机简讯做出回应。 不过这个消息似乎不是空穴来风。据传这份报导的来源是 Galloway 接收到来自於华府的 资讯。老史立刻表示他对於华府这个地方完全搞不清楚，然後接着又开玩笑的说他相信 他的朋友们一定都会对这个消息感到非常有趣。 While spending 21 of his 22 Major League seasons with the Braves, Smoltz established himself as a highly respected figure who, according to the AJC, has assisted with campaigns staged by U.S. Rep. Tom Price and U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss. Smoltz, who pitched for the Red Sox and Cardinals last season, is still keeping the door open to pitch again. The 42-year-old right-hander is currently working out in Atlanta, with the intent to be ready to pitch if a Major League club were to present a desired opportunity within the next month or possibly during the final months of the season. "I'm actually excited about this opportunity," Smoltz said two weeks ago. "I'm going to take it at my own pace. I've been part of several things that look good in the beginning and don't turn out the way you envisioned." 老史在大联盟一共投了22个球季，其中有21年的职业生涯都待在亚特兰大勇士队。 他已经将自己塑造成一位未来将受人景仰的伟大投手。 去年球季老史分别效力过波士顿红袜和圣路易红雀这两支球队，今年他依旧想继续在场上 投球并持续敞开大门欢迎其他球队签下他。今年已经42岁的老史目前正待在亚特兰大锻链 自己维持自己的身体强度。如果有哪支大联盟的球队愿意在下个月或者是球季中提供一个 理想的机会，那他就可以准备好上场投球。 "我对於这个机会感到非常兴奋。"老史在两个礼拜以前这麽说。 "我要按照我自己的步伐。我已经经历过许多事。一开始那些事情看似进行的很顺利，可惜 最终都事与愿违。" 原文http://0rz.tw/dHLmT ______________________________________________________________________________ 推老史~再继续投10年吧~ --
