Pedroia曾說過的一段話 - 美國職棒

提到 Pedroia, 他上了本週的 Sports Illustrated.

SI 的資深 MLB columnist, Tom Verducci 撰稿的

文章寫的挺有趣

原文在此: http://tinyurl.com/3n7u77x

昨天拿到雜誌時已經看完了, 大概提一下內容..

* 一堆人從 Peddy 在 'zona st. 到剛進 Boston 時都以為怎麼來了個小孩子

Pat Murphy, AZSt coach: "If you shook hands with him, you would think you
are shaking hands with a 10-year-old."

Verducci: When Pedroia took batting practice at Fenway after that (2004)
draft, the Red Sox' players thought he was one of the PGA players who were
visiting the ballpark that night.

前 one-five Kevin Millar 評現任 one-five: (to Epstein) "You mean to tell me
your scouts have the whole country, 50 states, every high school and
every college in America, and this is who they came back with?"

* 敬業的小傢伙

Papi: "I don't think there was a player born before him and I don't think
there will be a player born after him that cares about baseball more than
Dustin Pedroia. I would have to see it to believe it."

"One time I got to the ballpark just to get there before him. And he was
already there. I've stopped trying to beat him. There's no way in hell you
can do it."

* 永不停歇的猛烈砲火..in words

2007 WS Game 3 前, 紅襪球員進入 Rockies Coors Field, 球場安檢不認識 one-five
認為他是偷侵入球場的人. One-five 如此回了安檢人員:

"I'm the guy who took Jeff Francis onto the Mass Pike. How's that?"
(註: Peddy 在當年 WS Game 1 首局從 Francis 手中幹了支出球場的 HR)

06 季末當他是九月 call-up 時, 從 Ex-Jays A.J.Burnett 手中幹出首局首打席 HR,
One-five 回到休息區如是說:

"Ninety-eight (mph) coming in and 108 goint out!"

同樣的事情也發生在大學比賽面對 Wichita St. 的先發, 現在 Mets 的 Mike Pelfrey
. 從他手上打出 HR 後也說了類似的嗆聲. (96 coming in, 104 going out! Get
ready for the laser show all day!"

同樣是大學, 有次面對 FSU, 賽前練習對著現任 D'Backs SS, Stephen Drew 大喊:

"You want to see how a real shortstop fields? Take a seat and watch. You're
the guy on the cover of Baseball America? Are you kidding me?"

* 如果當年沒有選 One-five, Epstein 表示, 那可能選的會是 Kurt Suzuki.

* Ozzie 好評: "I love that little guy. It looks like he escaped from Cirque
du Soleil and they put a uniform on him"
(Cirque de Soleil: 太陽劇團, 著名的馬戲團)

* 有信心又正面

Epstein: "How much he believes in himself is vital to who he is. He talks
more s--- than anybody in the league, and no one takes it the wrong way."


原文還有很多有趣的 Tito-One five, One five vs 紅襪球員的小故事. 有空慢慢品嘗.
