Brett Morgan Butler (born June 15, 1957 in Los Angeles, California) is a former center fielder in Major League Baseball who played for five different teams from 1981 to 1997. Brett Morgan Butler(出生於1958年6月15日，加州洛杉矶)，前大联盟中外野手，在 1981年至1997年间效力过五支不同球队。 Career Butler spent his teenaged years in Libertyville, Illinois, where he was a reserve on the Libertyville High School baseball team that finished second in the Illinois state tournament. Upon graduating, he announced plans to play baseball in college, and his Libertyville High School coach, Ernie Ritta, scoffed. Butler, who had explored walking on at baseball powerhouse Arizona State, did manage to make the team at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Butler青少年时期皆待在伊利诺州的Libertyville，他是曾在伊利诺州联赛夺得第二名的 Libertyville高中棒球队的替补球员。即将毕业时，他计画加入大学的棒球队，但是他的 高中教练Ernie Ritta却嘲笑他。Butler奔走於亚利桑那州的棒球界有力人士之间，最後 终於如愿加入东南奥克拉荷马州立大学。 After attending Southeastern Oklahoma, Butler was drafted in the 23rd round of the 1979 amateur draft by the Atlanta Braves. The Braves were building a contender with players like Dale Murphy, Bob Horner, and Glenn Hubbard after years of losing, but they lacked a leadoff hitter with speed. Butler gave them just that. After playing in the minor leagues, he made his major league debut with the Braves on August 20, 1981. Butler helped lead the Braves to a 13-0 start and the National League West Division title in 1982, their first division title since 1969. He had another fine year with the Braves in 1983, but they finished second in the West to the Los Angeles Dodgers. 进入东南奥克拉荷马州立大学之後，Butler於1979年的选秀会上在第23轮被亚特兰大勇士 队选中。当时勇士队正在打造一支拥有夺冠实力的球队，虽然勇士队已经拥有Dale Murphy，Bob Horner与Glenn Hubbard等优秀的选手，但是仍然缺少一名有速度的第一棒 打者。Butler正是最佳人选。经过小联盟的磨练後，Butler於1981年8月20日穿着勇士队 的球衣在大联盟首次上场。1982年Butler带领勇士队取得开季13连胜的纪录，并获得国联 西区冠军，这是勇士队自1969年後首度获得分区冠军。1983年Butler也打出了不错的成绩 ，但是最後勇士队只获得西区第二名，排名在洛杉矶道奇队之後。 In October of 1983, Butler was sent to the Cleveland Indians (along with Brook Jacoby and Rick Behenna) to complete a deal in which the Braves had acquired Len Barker for cash toward the end of the 1983 season. In 1984, he became the first batter ever to face Roger Clemens. He played with the Indians for four seasons, batting a career-high .311 in 1985. 1983年10月，勇士队为了获得Len Barker，付出了一笔现金，并将Butler与Brook Jacoby 和Rick Behenna一同交易至克利夫兰印第安人队。1984年时Butler成为第一位面对Roger Clemens的选手，他为印第安人效力了四个球季，并且在1985年打出生涯最高的.311打击 率。 Butler signed with the San Francisco Giants as a free agent in 1987 and established himself as one of the premier leadoff hitters in the National League. He helped the Giants to the NL pennant in 1989, being the leadoff hitter in a potent lineup that included Will Clark, Kevin Mitchell, and Matt Williams. 1987年时Butler以自由球员的身份加盟旧金山巨人队，并且成为国家联盟最佳的第一棒打 者。1989年Butler担任拥有Will Clark，Kevin Mitchell与Matt Williams强力打线的第 一棒，并帮助巨人队夺得国联冠军。 Following the 1990 season, Butler signed a contract with Los Angeles Dodgers. As a member of the Dodgers from 1991-1995, Butler reached the prime of his career. In his first year as a Dodger (1991), Butler earned a roster spot on the National League All-Star team, and finished 7th in MVP voting. During the 1995 season, Butler was signed as a free agent by the New York Mets. In August 1995, Butler rejoined the Dodgers in a trade for Dwight Maness, and Scott Hunter. After finishing the season with the Dodgers, he again became a free agent and returned to the Dodgers. 1990 年球季後，Butler与道奇队签下合约。自1991年至1995年在道奇队的时期，Butler 达到了生涯巅峰。在加入道奇队的第一年(1991)， Butler就获选明星球员，并且在年度 最有价值球员的投票中排名第七。1995年间Butler被纽约大都会队签下，但是球季中道奇 队利用Dwight Maness与Scott Hunter又将Butler换回道奇队。1995年球季结束後， Butler再度成为自由球员，他选择继续为道奇队效力。 In May 1996, Butler learned that he was suffering from Squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsils, a type of cancer which only rarely involves the tonsils. Following an operation to remove the tumor, and intensive treatment to combat the disease, he returned to the Dodgers' lineup in September of the same year--defying the predictions of those who had speculated he would never be able to play again. Butler finished the 1996 season with the Dodgers and played with them for one more year, participating in his final game on September 28, 1997. 1996年5月，Butler被诊断出罹患了扁桃腺鳞状细胞癌，这是一种很少出现在扁桃腺的癌 症。在接受移除肿瘤手术与细心的治疗後，Butler 於同年9月回到道奇队的打线。也打破 了那些推测他将无法再继续打球的说法。1996年球季结束後，Butler又继续在道奇队待了 一个球季，并於1997 年9月28日完成了生涯最後一场的出赛。 Throughout his career, Butler averaged a .290 batting average, compiled over 2,000 hits, and stole 558 bases. To this day, the Dodgers have yet to find an everyday center fielder with Butler's talent and consistency. Many consider him to be one of the best leadoff hitters of the 1980s and early 1990s, due to his high on-base percentage, speed and dynamic bunting. Butler的大联盟生涯拥有平均.290的打击率，超过2000支安打与558次盗垒成功。道奇队 至今都无法再找到一名像Butler这样兼具天份与稳定性的先发中外野手。拥有速度，高上 垒率与不错短打能力的Butler被许多人认为是1980年代至1990年代早期最佳的第一棒打者 之一。 Coaching career Butler was a coach with the Arizona Diamondbacks for the 2005 season. He was hired to manage the Lancaster JetHawks of the class-A advanced club for the 2006 season. He was hired to manage the Mobile BayBears a newly acquired Double-A team Arizona Diamondbacks for the 2007 season. 2005年球季Butler曾担任亚历桑纳响尾蛇队的教练。2006年受聘管理高阶1A兰卡斯特喷射 鹰队，2007年则成为亚历桑纳响尾蛇队2A的莫比尔海湾熊的经理。 Butler, a born-again Christian, has been active in a number of Christian and Pro-Life causes. He lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife Eveline and four children. 重获新生的基督教徒Butler活跃於数个基督教与反堕胎的活动中。他目前与妻子Eveline 与四名子女居住於亚历桑纳州的凤凰城。 On April 24, 2006, Butler was hospitalized with chest pains after a Lancaster JetHawks game he managed. Butler apparently did not have a heart attack, and is undergoing further tests. 2006年4月24日在兰卡斯特喷射鹰队的比赛结束後，Butler因胸口疼痛而送医。但是并不 是心脏病发，所以继续接受进一步的检查。 Butler returned to his coaching duties "after a week off due to a viral infection." 最後发现是病毒感染并休养一星期後，Butler重返教练的职务。 On July 29th, 2007, Butler was hospitalized after suffering a mild stroke. 2007年7月29日Butler因轻微中风而住院治疗。 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brett_Butler_%28baseball%29 -- Gary says... http://www.gary711.net http://gary711.idv.st --
