Torii Hunter與不可交易條款 - 美國職棒

消息來源：https://reurl.cc/4RGVqj

Torii Hunter played 19 major-league seasons between the Minnesota Twins, Los
Angeles Angels, and Detroit Tigers. One team he made a point never to play
for was the Boston Red Sox.

Torii Hunter在明尼蘇達雙城隊、洛杉磯天使隊和底特律老虎隊間共經歷了19個賽季。
有一個球隊他強調絕不為之效力，那就是波士頓紅襪隊。

Hunter had a no-trade clause built into every contract that would prevent him
from being sent to Boston because fans at Fenway Park directed racial slurs
at him, he said Thursday on ESPN Radio's "Golic & Wingo."

Hunter在星期四的ESPN Radio節目"Golic & Wingo"中提到，他在每一份合約都加註了不
可交易條款以避免被送往波士頓，因為芬威球場的球迷會用種族歧視的言論詆毀他。

"I've been called the N-word in Boston 100 times, and I said something about
it," Hunter said. "(People would say) 'Oh, he's just a militant, he's lying,
this didn't happen.' No, it happened. All the time. From little kids. And
grown-ups right next to them didn't say anything. ... So I had a no-trade
clause in everything I had not to go to Boston. Not because of all the
people, not because of the teammates, not because of the front office.
Because if you're doing that and it's allowed amongst the people, I don't
want to be there. And that's why I had a no-trade clause to Boston. Every
contract I've ever had. And I always wanted to play for them. It sucks."

「在波士頓，我被罵過一百次的N-word，然後如果我對此有所抱怨，」Hunter提到。
「(人們會說)『噢，他只是好勝而已，他在說謊，那根本沒發生過。』不，這確實發生
，每一次。小孩子會說出種族歧視的言論，然而他們旁邊的大人對此卻置若罔聞。
因此，我的每一份合約都有不可交易去波士頓的條款，不是因為當地的球迷，不是因為
隊友，也不是因為球團；而是因為當你在做這樣的事，而這是被允許的時候，我就不想
在那裏打球了，這就是為什麼在我簽下的每一個合約中，都有不可交易去波士頓的條款。
我之前一直想幫他們打球的，這感覺真的很糟。」

It's not the first time Boston's been associated with racism, particularly in
baseball. Former Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones said he was targeted
by racist taunts and had peanuts thrown at him while playing at Fenway Park
in 2017.

這不是第一次波士頓跟種族主義連結在一起，特別是在棒球方面。前巴爾的摩金鶯隊
外野手Adam Jones提到當2017年在芬威球場打球時，曾經遭到球迷種族歧視的嘲諷並且
被丟花生。

Additionally, Yawkey Way was renamed Jersey Street in 2018 because of its
association with former Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey. He oversaw the team during
the integration era and the Red Sox didn't roster a black player until 1959,
12 years after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier.

除此之外，Yawkey路因為和前紅襪老闆Tom Yawkey的關聯，在2018年被重新命名為
Jersey街。他在MLB種族融合時期(註：1947-)負責球隊的運作，而紅襪隊直到1959年才
登錄了第一位非裔球員，就在Jackie Robinson打破膚色藩籬的12年後。
