Bagwell 退休了 這可是十年前最強的slugger啊!!!!!
Astros slugger Jeff Bagwell retiring
By JOE STINEBAKER, Associated Press Writer
December 14, 2006
HOUSTON (AP) -- Jeff Bagwell, the face of Houston baseball for a generation
with teammate Craig Biggio, will retire Friday after 15 years with the team.
The four-time All Star will remain with the Astros as part of a
personal-services agreement reached with the team earlier this week,
according to a person familiar with the team's plan who requested anonymity
because an official announcement had not been made.
Bagwell, the greatest power hitter in Houston Astros history, is expected to
work with young Astros hitters, assisting in the front office and making
appearances for the team.
The Astros have scheduled a Friday morning news conference to announce the
retirement.
Bagwell, 38, leaves the Astros as the team's all-time leader in home runs
(449), RBIs (1,529), walks (1,401) and extra-base hits (969). He had a
lifetime batting average of .297.
Despite his unique and highly unorthodox batting stance, Bagwell displayed
remarkable power at the plate, ranking among the top 15 players in home runs
and RBIs throughout the 1990s. His 449 home runs leaves him three behind his
childhood idol, Carl Yastrzemski.
A Boston native, Bagwell's minor-league contract was owned by the Boston Red
Sox until August 1990, when the Red Sox traded him to the Astros for pitcher
Larry Andersen. Astros manager Art Howe switched Bagwell from third base to
first base to accommodate Astros third baseman Ken Caminiti, soon to become
one of Bagwell's close friends.
Bagwell's impact was immediate, and he was named the National League rookie
of the year in 1991, hitting .294 with 15 homers and a club rookie record of
82 RBIs.
He went on to win three Silver Slugger awards and one Gold Glove.
It was in the strike-shortened season of 1994 that Bagwell had perhaps his
best season, hitting .368 over 110 games, slamming 39 home runs and knocking
in 116 runs to lead the Astros within a half-game of Cincinnati before a
players strike ended the season Aug. 12. As a result, Bagwell was unanimously
selected the National League's most valuable player.
