Hamels grateful for dad's support Phillies southpaw attributes early love of baseball to father By Kevin Horan / MLB.com Cole Hamels' pitching career began in the backyard of his boyhood home in California. The young lefty would throw to his father, Gary Hamels, stationed in a catcher's stance in the opposite end of the yard. 王牌从小就跟他老爸在自家的後花园catch ball(难道老黑魔使曾经看过一套来自东洋的 神秘棒球漫画!?) It wasn't always as pretty as Hamels' two complete-game shutouts this season. Cole recalls stray pitches that bounced off his father's shins and ankles and even a few that broke windows. 然而歹志恩系憨人所想的那麽简单，就像大雄他们偶尔会打破雷公家的玻璃，黑魔使也是 But that never deterred Gary's devotion to his son's progress. 老黑魔使:加油，好吗? "He was always there to catch me as long as I wanted," Cole said of his father. "Without him, I don't think I would have become as good." 如果没有他，就没有现在的我 by黑魔使 Cole's parents still reside in California. They get to see their son play when they make an occasional trip to Philadelphia and also look forward to the Phillies' visits to the West Coast. 老黑魔使夫妻俩没有很刻意的去看儿子的比赛，只是刚好经过 After one of Cole's starts, however, don't expect to hear intense conversations between he and his father about how to analyze hitters or analyze Cole's pitching motion. His dad just enjoys watching the game, Cole said. "我老爸不会跑来跟我说该如何解决打者或如何投球，他就只是看比赛" 黑魔使说 "He's like, 'You know what? You surpassed me after high school,'" Cole said. "'You've learned everything.'" 老黑魔使只会说:我已经没有东西可以教你了 During Cole's Little League days, the lefty was proud of his ability to pitch with accuracy and field the ball cleanly, but sometimes struggled with hitting. He remembers having a tendency to back out of the batter's box as a pitcher started his windup. 黑魔使在小联盟的时候，能投能守，就是打击有点差 甚至投手刚要投时就自己想要退出打击区 (这里有一批大鲁阁代币很便宜的) That's when Gary stepped in with words of encouragement. 就只有在那时候老黑魔使会给他一些鼓励的话 "'Swing the bat and keep your eye on the ball,'" Cole recalls his father saying. 老黑魔使棒球教室:球来就打 不是啦 "挥棒然後持续盯着球，球就会像变了心的女朋友一样了" 王牌想起爸爸的话 While Cole was growing up, Gary worked as a school district's financial adviser and was able to leave his job early to see his son's games. 老黑魔使是学校区域(是这样翻吗?)的财政顾问，而且可以早一点离开工作去看王牌 的比赛 "That was quite nice, just to know that your dad is in the stands," Cole said. "A lot of people don't have that opportunity." "有老爸在旁边的感觉超棒的，不是每个人都有这样的机会" 黑魔使说 When Cole does get a chance to return home to California to visit his parents, he sees that some things haven't changed. 有些事永远都不会变 Even though the 24-year-old Hamels has become a cornerstone of the Phillies' starting rotation -- tied for the team lead with six wins and holding a 3.36 ERA, the lowest among Phils starters -- the elder Hamels still wants to play catch. 尽管王牌现在是费城人的中流砥柱，老黑魔使还是会跟他catch ball (我也想zz) "I'm like, 'Dad, I can't play catch with you right now,'" Cole said. "'I throw too hard for you.'" "我很想，但是我现在不能跟你catch ball了，我怕球会打穿手套然後打到你" 王牌说 这篇还蛮简单的，没有翻的很盐井，很多都是用我自己的话来解释 如果大家看不习惯，肥肠爆芡@@ 就当做让我赚个p币吧XD --
