https://goo.gl/SJBznq Gretchen Piscotty, the mother of Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty, died Sunday night, a family member told ESPN. 奧克蘭運動家外野手Stephen Piscotty的媽媽，Gretchen Piscotty在美國時間星期天晚上 逝世 Piscotty's mother suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as Lou Gehrig's disease, a neurological disorder. Piscotty, 55, was diagnosed with ALS in May 2017. Piscotty的媽媽患有肌萎縮性脊髓側索硬化症，也是我們俗稱的漸凍人或是Lou Gehrig症 (洋基傳奇球星Lou Gehrig也是罹患這種病)，她是在2017年五月的時候被診斷出來罹患 此症 In December, Stephen Piscotty was traded by the St. Louis Cardinals to the Athletics for two minor leaguers. The move meant Piscotty, who grew up in nearby Pleasanton, California, and went to Stanford, would be closer to his mother and could aid in her care. 而在2017年的冬天，紅雀交易Piscotty到運動家換回兩名小聯盟球員。 這筆交易對於Piscotty這位住在Pleasaton近郊，並且就讀史丹佛大學的加州人來說意義 重大，回到奧克蘭意謂著他可以就近的照顧他的媽媽。 Piscotty described being close to his mother as "priceless" to the San Francisco Chronicle at the time of the trade. Piscotty在當時交易發生的時候，他向舊金山紀實報敘述他與他媽媽之間關係，是如何的 親近，是多麼的無價。 "We usually end [the day] playing the guitar with 'Amazing Grace,'" Stephen Piscotty told ESPN about taking care of his mother. It was a song she used to play for him as a child on a music box. "It's definitely emotional. Playing it is kind of a full circle aspect going on there. It gives me some little bit of piece, and I hope it does the same for her. "我通常會在一天的結束前用吉他彈奏奇異恩典給我媽聽。"Piscotty談到他照顧他媽媽 的情形。這首歌在Piscotty小的時候，Piscotty的媽媽常常用音樂盒播給小Piscotty聽。 "在彈奏奇異恩典的時候，我是非常激動的，那好像就是回到小時候我媽媽當時為我做的 一樣。這首歌讓我感受到心靈上的平靜，我希望藉由彈奏這首歌，希望我媽媽也能有一樣 的感受。" "It's important to spend time with her because we're running out of it and we're just trying to cherish every moment." "在所剩不多的時間內，能多陪伴她是很重要的。我只是想珍惜我們倆之間的每一刻" Piscotty, 27, made his Cardinals debut in 2015 and finished sixth in National League Rookie of the Year voting after hitting .305 in 63 games. He missed some games last season to be with his mother. Piscotty，在2015年在紅雀隊登上大聯盟，並在當年的國聯最佳新秀票選獲得第六名， 他在2015在63場比賽當中繳出0.305的打擊率。 他上一季因為要陪伴他媽媽的關係，因此缺席了一些比賽。 He signed a six-year, $33.5 million contract extension in the offseason that runs through 2022. 他在2015年季後的時候，和紅雀簽了一份到2022年，為期6年、總價33.5M的延長合約 Gretchen Piscotty is also survived by her husband, Michael, and sons Nick and Austin. "With or without the illness, I'm very grateful they're all close by," Gretchen Piscotty told the Chronicle in January. "I wish this wasn't impacting them, impacting the family, but I'm very grateful to see them. They're all very tender and caring and gentle with me." "不管有沒有生病，我都很感謝他們都一直在我身邊。" Piscotty的媽媽在一月的時候 這麼表示著 "我希望我的病不會影響到他們或是這個家庭，但我很感謝他們看見他們在身邊，他們都 對我很好。" ESPN幾天前的描述Piscotty在這段他母親罹病的心境影片 看得真的讓人很心疼。 可惜過沒幾天，Piscotty的媽媽真的走了 願Piscotty的媽媽安息，Piscotty也要加油QQ --
