How do you say "Michigan left" in Taiwanese?
Some of the Tigers will fly home to spend this week’s All-Star
break with their families. Others will pack up their wives and kids and
take brief vacations.
But if you’re living in a foreign country, you don’t speak the
language, you only know a couple of people, and your job shuts down for
three days, what do you do?
In the case of Fu-Te Ni, the Tigers’ left-handed Taiwanese
reliever, you make plans to take a test to try to get your U.S. driver’s
license.
“It’s much easier to drive here than in Taiwan,” Ni explained
through his trusty translator and sidekick, Fox.
Ni, Fox and Ni’s girlfriend from Taiwan share an apartment in
Toledo. When the Tigers are home, Ni and Fox usually stay in a hotel in
downtown Detroit to cut down on the commute.
Ni rarely watches TV. What would be the point? He wouldn’t
understand a word anyone was saying.
Dining out is always a problem. In case you haven’t noticed,
Detroit is not exactly known for its fine Taiwanese restaurants.
“Sometimes we go to a Chinese buffet or a Sushi bar, but usually
we cook by ourselves,” Fox explained.
Ni’s teammates joke around with him the clubhouse, but they do so
mostly with gestures. Ni doesn’t understand the chatter in the locker
room or in the bullpen.
Last week, when those “Vote Inge” for the All-Star Game signs
were all over Comerica Park, Brandon, ever the jokester, reconfigured one
to read: “Vote Ni.”
Inge hung the sign above Ni’s locker and the pitcher appeared to
get a big kick out of it.
Ni smiles a lot. He knows he’s in the big leagues.
However, communicating with Jim Leyland poses a problem. As you
might have guessed, the Tigers’ manager isn’t exactly conversant in
Taiwanese.
“I think he understands the word, ‘strike,’ Leyland said.
“All I tell him is, ‘Throw strikes.’
“We’re not going to have a conversation about where we’re going
to dinner,” Leyland admitted.
Good thing. Because I don’t think the Tigers’ manager would
enjoy sticky tofu.
