先恭喜费城人今年打入世界大赛，也因为这样才注意到费城人队，然後回去翻了 一下1980年的世界大赛，看到了一个熟悉的名字，Tug McGraw，Tim McGraw的父 亲。 Tug McGraw当年共出赛了四场，成绩如下： IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA Game1 2 1 0 0 0 2 0 0.00 (S,1) Game3 0.2 2 1 1 2 1 0 3.38 (L, 0-1) Game5 3 1 0 0 4 5 0 1.59 (W, 1-1) Game6 2 3 0 0 2 2 0 1.17 (S,2) Game6 九局上，Tug McGraw最後三振了Willie Nelson ，费城人拿下第一座的世界 大赛冠军。费城人迷对他应该都熟悉。 会想聊Tug McGraw是因为Tim McGraw的关系，Tim McGraw是目前美国相当红的乡村 歌手(Faith Hill的老公)；他和Tug McGraw有一小段相认的故事。 1966年，当Tug McGraw还在小联盟Jackonville Suns投球的时候，他认识了同住在 一栋大楼的Betty D'Agostino，两人交往了一段时间，当然也上了床。後来Betty 怀孕後被她的父母亲送到Louisiana和亲戚同住，'67年5月生下了Tim McGraw。 之後Betty再婚，Tim McGraw就在生母和继父的扶养之下长大。因为Betty隐埋Tim McGraw的生父，所以Tim McGraw一直以为他的继父就是他的亲生父亲。直到他11岁 那年，为了想找他妈妈藏的圣诞礼物，在他翻柜子的时候意外的让Tim McGraw看到 他的出生证明，上面写的父亲是Tug McGraw。 後来Tim McGraw的妈妈向他坦承，不久之後他妈妈就带着他去跟Tug McGraw相认， Tim McGraw 那晚看了爸爸投球，结果Tug McGraw被干了一支满贯炮。其实在这之前， Tim有在收集棒球卡，贴在墙上的其中一张就是Tug McGraw，只是他完全不晓得那个 人就是自己的亲生父亲。父子两人第一次见面气氛显得有点尬尴，Tug McGraw 一时 之间并没有办法接受，当时Tug McGraw也有自己的家庭。 之後，他们父子俩又见了一次面。接着，中间的７年就完全没有再见过面。直到Tim McGraw十八岁的时候，父子再次见面，Tug McGraw这次接受了 Tim McGraw；之後父 子两个一直都非常亲近，一直到Tug McGraw去世。 Tug McGraw在'03年被诊断出脑瘤，恶性肿瘤。後期就一直在接受化疗，到了2004年 一月时去世，那时候Tim McGraw正在录制他的新专辑。八月，Tim McGraw发行了新专 辑Live Like You Were Dying，同名的歌曲则是献给他最爱的父亲，Tug McGraw。 另外，Tim McGraw今年的世界大赛也会去现场帮费城人加油。 Live Like You Were Dying MV : http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=7mHaFMqde6A 音乐录影带最後可以看到Tug McGraw在1980年投出最後致胜的一球。 歌词写得很棒，有兴趣的可以往下拉。 He said: "I was in my early forties, "With a lot of life before me, "An' a moment came that stopped me on a dime. "I spent most of the next days, "Looking at the x-rays, "An' talking 'bout the options an' talkin’ ‘bout sweet time." I asked him when it sank in, That this might really be the real end? How’s it hit you when you get that kind of news? Man whatcha do? An' he said: "I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing, "I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu. "And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter, "And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying." An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance, "To live like you were dyin'." He said "I was finally the husband, "That most the time I wasn’t. "An' I became a friend a friend would like to have. "And all of a sudden goin' fishin’, "Wasn’t such an imposition, "And I went three times that year I lost my Dad. "Well, I finally read the Good Book, "And I took a good long hard look, "At what I'd do if I could do it all again, "And then: "I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing, "I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu. "And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter, "And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying." An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance, "To live like you were dyin'." Like tomorrow was a gift, And you got eternity, To think about what you’d do with it. An' what did you do with it? An' what can I do with it? An' what would I do with it? "Sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing, "I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu. "And then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter, "And I watched Blue Eagle as it was flyin'." An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance, "To live like you were dyin'." "To live like you were dyin'." "To live like you were dyin'." "To live like you were dyin'." "To live like you were dyin'." --
