来自Mark Feinsand 的部落格 总教练又有新花招 让投手们进行～～用棒球和球棒沿着跑垒路径(basepaths)来打高尔夫。 （总教练说这一开始是AJ的主意） 然後像WBC般的分成八个国家队，国家名以WBC的为基准。 不过因为MO在牛棚以致少一队，所以他们创造出一个国家名来凑数。 赢的那一队，队员的跑步练习可以减半。 结果，王建民那队赢，不过那队只有Hughes捡到便宜， 因为王建民还是没在进行跑步，第三位队员是三A的投手教练，教练当然不用跑阿！ Girardi holds 'WBC Ryder Cup' at Yankee camp March 9, 2009 Spring training gets rather monotonous for players, especially pitchers. There are only so many side bullpen sessions and pitchers fielding practices (PFPs) you can do before you get bored to tears. Today, Joe Girardi found a way to combat that boredom. Instead of doing PFPs, the Yankees’ pitchers took part in PPP - pitchers putting practice. Girardi actually named it the “WBC Ryder Cup,” as the entire group of pitchers played “golf” on the basepaths with a bat and baseball. The guys were split up into eight teams, each led by a player representing a different country. Well, sort of representing countries. There were only seven countries represented (Mariano Rivera could have given them an eighth with Panama, but he was throwing in the bullpen), so they made the eighth team “Native America” led by Joba Chamberlain. Creative stuff. The countries were Chinese Taipei (Chien-Ming Wang), Cuba (Christian Garcia), Japan (Kei Igawa), Dominican Republic (Jose Veras), Puerto Rico (Jonathan Albaladejo), United States (A.J. Burnett), Mexico (Sergio Mitre) and “Native America” (Joba). The “golf course” consisted of the basepaths, with pitchers putting baseballs with a bat. The winning team was rewarded by only having to run half as much as the rest of the pitchers. Burnett’s squad looked strong after he had a “hole-in-one” on his first shot, but things went south in a hurry. Girardi said the tournament was Burnett’s idea. Wang’s team, which included Phil Hughes and Scott Aldred, the Triple-A pitching coach, emerged victorious, beating out Igawa, Dave Robertson and Steven Jackson. Robertson had an opportunity to make a big putt, but, in his words, “I choked big-time.” Still, Robertson said the event was much more fun than PFPs, “especially after we’ve been doing them for three or four weeks.” Hughes was the only one on the winning team to benefit from the win, however. Wang is still not doing much running as he returns from his foot injury, and Aldred doesn’t have to run sprints since he’s a coach. First a pool tournament and now a WBC Ryder Cup. What will Girardi think of next? Goose Gossage observed the tournament, prompting my colleague John Harper to ask him if Billy Martin ever set up such an event when Goose played for the Bombers. “Nope,” Gossage said. “We went to the bar.” By Mark Feinsand on March 9, 2009 1:56 PM http://tinyurl.com/degkf4 --
