DENVER -- Giants managing general partner and chief executive officer Bill Neukom said his trip to Coors Field this weekend was planned before Thursday's announcement that he would be retiring at the end of the season. So, for Neukom, it was business as usual on Friday, as he watched the team take batting practice, chatted with players and greeted San Francisco fans in the Coors Field bleachers. Neukom said he will continue to enjoy those activities next season, when he will serve as chairman emeritus. "I'll have a chance to do some of that, and I'm looking forward to that," Neukom said of interacting with players. "I was saying to [Mark] De Rosa, it's amazing to me how much there is to learn about this game. The more you see it, the closer you can get to it, the more you have to respect it." Neukom said continuing to learn about the game has been one of the most rewarding aspects of his tenure as an executive. "There are so many moving parts, so many variables," he said. Neukom：「 Nuekom said coming to Coors Field brings back good memories, as he was here when Matt Cain nearly threw a no-hitter to complete a series win over the Rockies last September, helping to propel the Giants on their storybook World Series run. "Cain threw one of the best games I've ever seen," Neukom said. "That was effectively the elimination of the Rockies, and then it was just us and the Padres. That was a very critical series." 巨人隊的CEO(Bill Neukom)表示他來到洛磯主場Coors Field是在被球團宣告退休前 就已經做好的例行規劃了。 當我到Coors Field時對我來說這又是忙碌的一天的開始，我看著球隊作打擊練習， 與球員們作些談話，熱烈歡迎著每一位為球隊鼓舞的巨人球迷們。 即使不論何種理由使我退下了這個位置，但唯一不變的是我會繼續喜愛巨人隊的一切 ，無論是這個球隊本身，亦或是他們的任何比賽活動。 與這些球員互動並了解後，我會為他們作一些必要的幫助，並持續看著這支球隊 一步步壯大茁壯成為一隻真正的巨人隊。 在與DeRosa一番交談過後，我對從比賽中能得到更多東西感到驚奇，你能看到 與獲得的是更全面更完整的疇範，讓你必須為他們在比賽中的努力感到深深的敬意。 持續地從每場比賽中不斷的學習成長是在我當執行長時期最不會忘也最不能忘的 一件事情。 在去年9月進軍季後賽的關鍵時刻，那時Matt Cain為球隊在Coors fiels拼盡全力 投出一場準無安打的勝利後，也振起了球隊對冠軍的夢想，直到現在那一幕還深深刻劃 在我的腦海之中。 當我看著那一場超棒的比賽，一場徹底打擊了落磯隊士氣的比賽之後，接著就是我們 與教士的那些對戰了....................。 --
