前言:最近洽逢大联盟球季正式开打
MovieLine的专栏作家Mike Ryan也特别选出30部
适合各队不同球迷观赏的影视作品
这30部作品在影坛的评价不一,但都有一个共通点-
他们都是经过剧本润饰的戏剧作品
(换句话说,就是纪录片不在他的考虑范围内)
以下就是Mike Ryan精选的30部片单
当然,如果您对你支持球队搭配的影片不大满意
您可以在网页的下面留言给他,毕竟他也坦承有些球队的确不好选
AL East
Boston Red Sox: Fear Strikes Out (1957)
华人圈翻译孺子雄心
Tony Perkins stars in the true story of Jimmy Piersall. Red Sox fans, just be
glad that this movie exists or this entry could very well be Fever Pitch.
旧版惊魂记男主角Tony Perkins在本片扮演充满传奇的Jimmy Piersall
红袜球迷们,你们应该庆幸有这部电影的存在,不然这席空位真的要让给
茱儿巴莉摩主演的"爱情全垒打"了
New York Yankees: Pride of the Yankees (1942)
台译洋基之光
Gary Cooper was nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Lou
Gehrig (the luckiest man on the face of the Earth) in this 1942 classic.
传奇影星贾利古柏在这部1942的经典中,因饰演传奇球星盖瑞格(又名地表上
最幸运的人),提名奥斯卡影帝
译按:POTY是有经过奥斯卡加持,但我相信不少人应该会跟我一样
想把这个席位让给比利克里斯托导演的棒坛双雄(61)吧!
Toronto Blue Jays: Major League II (1994)
台译大联盟2:绝战大反攻
The Blue Jays aren’t really known for their appearances in popular culture.
In Major League II, however, the Cleveland Indians clinch the division
against Toronto in the final game of the season. So, there’s that.
蓝鸟队在大众文化中的名气,并不是那么的被广为所知
不过在大联盟2中,印地安人刚好就在例行赛的最后一场比赛击败蓝鸟,
荣登分区冠军,所以我也就只能推荐ML2了
译按:同样是喜剧,我比较会推荐亚当山德勒的冒牌老爸
因为片中那个让人爱恨交加的小孩,可说是亲生父亲在1993年
世界大赛期间的"意外产物"
Baltimore Orioles: A Winner Never Quits (1986)
Surprisingly, the Orioles are very light on movie appearances. Before the
Orioles moved to Baltimore for the 1954 season, they were the St. Louis
Browns. At one point, the Browns had a one-armed player name Pete Gray. He
wasn’t bad, actually!
很意外地,金莺队在电影出现的机率非常低
在金莺于1954年搬到巴尔地摩之前,他们的名字是圣路易布朗
在那时,布朗队有一位名叫Pete Gray的独臂球员
说实话,他的生涯成绩并不差
Tampa Bay Rays: The Rookie (2002)
台译心灵投手
When The Rookie was released, the Rays were still the Devil Rays, but still:
Not bad for a fairly new franchise. Added bonus: The Rookie also features
Angus T. Jones, making Jon Cryer the only title character from Two and a Half
Men not on this list.
心灵投手上映时,光芒队还叫做魔鬼鱼,但对于一支资浅球队来说,这算不错了。
另一个推荐理由:知名影集男人两个半的小男人Angus T. Jones也有出现在本片,
这也让Jon Cryer变成该影集的三位主角中,唯一没有出现在这份名单的人
译按:男人两个半另一个有上榜的主角,如果你有国内媒体的西洋娱乐版
应该不难知道是谁,事实上这位仁兄早就出现在蓝鸟的那一栏了
AL Central
Chicago White Sox: Eight Men Out (1988)
台译密战阴谋
Probably not every White Sox fan’s favorite subject, but, hey: At least you
weren’t alive when this happened Also, Charlie Sheen’s lesser-known third
film on this list. (If you want “feel good” White Sox option, watch Max
Dugan Returns.)
我知道不是每个白袜球迷都能接受这个主题,但球迷们,至少你们不是在那个
年代出生的,这也是查理辛出现在这榜单的第三部,也是知名度较低的影片。
假如你想要看一部让你心情好的白袜主题电影,你可以考虑1983年的喜剧
批星载月(又名贵客光临)
Cleveland Indians: Major League (1989)
台译大联盟
Well, of course. And at least Tom Berenger isn’t on a cocaine binge or in
jail for tax evasion.
当然是本片囉。值得欣慰的是,至少本片的另一个主角汤姆贝林杰不会面临
开古柯碱轰趴或因逃漏税而坐牢的鸟事
译按:作者的那句话很明显在酸最近风波不断的查理辛,XD
Kansas City Royals: The Bronx is Burning (2007)
True, this mini-series is about the Yankees, but the Yankees play the Royals
in the 1977 ALCS, which is depicted on-screen. Sorry, there’s not much out
there for the Royals. For people under the age of 30, the Royals used to be a
good team. (And for Royals fans, get excited for your AL Central title in
2016!)
这部迷你影集的主角的确是洋基队,但皇家至少也曾经出现在1977年与洋基
争夺美联冠军的那一段。很抱歉,影视圈队皇家队的着墨并不多。对30岁以下
的影/球迷来说,皇家曾经是一支强队;至于对皇家队球迷,好消息是你们应该
会为球队预约五年后的美联中区冠军感到兴奋!
Minnesota Twins: Little Big League (1994)
台译小子大联盟
It’s either this or Major League: Back to the Minors. Before Target Field
opened, I bet at one point Twins fans actually wished that a 12-year-old kid
owned the team.
我是在本片与大联盟3之间二选一的
在双城新球场开幕之前,我敢打赌一定有双城球迷希望片中这位12岁小孩
会是现实世界中球队的老板
译按:这有点在暗酸双城老板以前不愿意花大钱留球员,不过近年来这状况
的确改善许多
Detroit Tigers: For Love of the Game (1999)
台译往日柔情
The Tigers aren’t very good in this movie. And, honestly, this movie isn’t
very good, either. Though it does feature a perfect game thrown against the
New York Yankees — and that has to count for something, right?
片中的老虎队并不是战绩很好的球队,而本片说实在话也并不特别杰出
不过既然有对洋基投出完全比赛的情节,这应该就构成推荐的理由了吧!
AL West
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim: Angels in the Outfield (1994)
台译魔幻大联盟
Probably one of the most underrated films in terms of future star power: A
young Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Adrien Brody and Matthew McConaughey are all in
this film. And Tony Danza.
以演员未来发展来说,这很有可能是史上最被低估的一部片
在本片中,你可以看到年轻时期的乔瑟夫高登理维、安德连布洛迪、马修
麦康纳,以及..在片中饰演投手的东尼丹萨
译按:我怀疑这作者是东尼丹萨的死忠影迷,因为接下来的片单中作者也有提到他
Oakland Athletics: Moneyball (2011)
台译魔球
It’s not out yet, but no matter how good or bad Moneyball turns out to be,
the selection for the Oakland A’s will be Moneyball.
魔球电影版是还没有上映,但无论成果好坏,都注定会是运动家队的代表电影
Texas Rangers: The Rookie (2002)
台译心灵投手
The only film to appear twice on this list, primarily because the Texas
Rangers don’t make a lot of appearances in film. When Jim Morris makes his
Major League debut, it’s in Arlington against the Texas Rangers.
这是唯一同时入选两队片单的电影,或许是因为游骑兵在电影中出现的机会
并不多吧!当片中的主角莫理森第一次在大联盟出赛时,地点刚好就是在
游骑兵的主场
Seattle Mariners: The Naked Gun (1988)
台译笑弹龙虎榜
Judging from this story, it appears that only way the producers of The Naked
Gun were allowed to use the (at the time) California Angels in the film was
to use the Mariners as their opponent.
根据先前缅怀本片主角莱斯利尼尔森的报导,要让笑弹龙虎榜的制作团队,
获得天使队球场使用许可的唯一方法,就是让水手成为那场球赛的客场球队
NL East
Atlanta Braves: The Slugger’s Wife (1985)
台译娇妻难缠
Unfortunately, this movie isn’t very good. If nothing else, though, it does
answer the question, “Hey, what happened to Michael O’Keefe after
Caddyshack?” (It was nice to see good ol’ Danny in Michael Clayton two
decades later.)
很不幸地,本片并不是优质好片,但这至少也回答了一个问题-Michael O’Keefe
在演出经典喜剧"疯狂高尔夫"之后发生什么事?不过幸运的是,在20年后我们终于
又在"全面反击"中,看到丹尼(O’Keefe在疯狂高尔夫的角色名)了
Washington Nationals: How Do You Know (2010)
台译爱在心里怎知道
Owen Wilson’s character in this movie plays for the Nationals. So, congrats,
Nationals fans; you now have a movie that is just as bad as your team.
欧文威尔森在片中刚好饰演一位国民队的球星
所以,恭喜国民的球迷们,你们总算有了一部跟你们球队战绩
一样糟糕的电影
New York Mets: Men in Black (1997)
台译MIB星际战警
Bernard Gilkey sees a UFO over Shea Stadium and misses a routine fly ball. I
can only assume that there have been a lot of UFOs following around the Mets
over the last few years in an effort to explain their play.
当时效力于大都会(AKA梅子)的Bernard Gilkey,在梅子旧家看到了一艘
太空飞船,并因此漏接了一颗例行性高飞球-我想大概也只有梅子新家地底下
的飞碟们,可以解释梅子队这几年场上场下都鸟事不断的原因了
译按:这是搞笑版选项,如果要温馨一点的我推荐黑洞频率
Philadelphia Phillies: The Phillie Phanatic Goes Hollywood (2006)
I think the title pretty much sums it up.
他的片名足以说明一切
Florida Marlins: Back to the Future Part II (1989)
台译回到未来2
OK, not technically the Marlins (yes, the mascot more resembled a gator) —
but it is a team out of Miami that loses to the Cubs (ha!) in the 2015 World
Series. So, it is possible that the Marlins will change their logo and switch
leagues before then.
好吧,我知道并不是真正马林鱼队的电影,因为在片中,迈城是以鳄鱼作为他们的吉祥物
,但这是一支在2015的世界大赛中输给小熊的球队耶!
所以马林鱼真的有可能真的有可能在不久的将来,更改队徽与所属联盟囉!
NL Central
Chicago Cubs: Rookie of the Year (1993)
台译金臂小子
I’ve always wondered why “injury leads to super-human ability” has yet to
ever happen in real life. Then again, this is a team that hasn’t won a World
Series in 103 years, so it’s fun to ponder things that will never happen in
real life.
我总是好奇一个问题:为何受伤产生特异功能的情节,在现实中仍然没有发生?
对一支超过一百年没拿世界大赛冠军的球队来说,反复回味在真实人生绝对不会
发生的事情绝对很有趣
St. Louis Cardinals: The Pride of St. Louis (1952)
Since the Cardinals are my favorite team, I wanted to include something
really great. Unfortunately, the Cardinals do not have a really great movie.
So here’s this biopic about Dizzy Dean, unfortunately. (Oh, how I almost
used the entire series run of Who’s the Boss? featuring former Cardinals
second baseman turned house-cleaner Tony Micelli.)
红雀是我最爱的球队,所以我也想要借此来介绍更棒的电影
可惜的是,影史上并没有一部真正伟大的红雀队电影
所以,我只能用这部Dizzy Dean的传记电影来滥竽充数了
PS:我差点就要用曾经是红雀二垒手,退休后雀沦为清洁工的Tony Micelli当主角
(此角由东尼丹萨饰演)的经典影集妙管家来顶替这个版面了,Orz
Milwaukee Brewers: Mr. 3000 (2004)
台译安打先生
Thank you, Milwaukee Brewers and Mr. 3000; you’ve made me feel better about
including The Pride of St. Louis as the Cardinals entry onto this list. (No
offense to the late Mr. Mac.)
感谢你们啊,酿酒人与安打先生这部电影,因为你们让我对将上面那部老片
选入红雀队片单中这件事感到好多了,虽然我无意要冒犯该片的男主角柏尼麦克
(因为他已经过世了)
Pittsburgh Pirates: Angels in the Outfield (1951)
The original Angels in the Outfield featured the Pirates. Sadly, it did not
feature Tony Danza.
魔幻大联盟的原版,是以海盗队作为主角。
可惜的是,东尼丹萨并不是片中的天使
Houston Astros: Night Game (1989)
The only horror/suspense movie on the list! Roy Scheider plays a police
officer investigating a series of murders that occur when an Astros pitcher
named Silvio Baretto wins a home night game. Spooky!
这是榜单上唯一的恐怖悬疑片!
老牌影星Roy Scheider在片中饰演的警探,负责调查太空人投手Silvio Baretto
(现实上并没有这个人)在主场赢得比赛时,所发生连环谋杀案,恐怖喔!
Cincinnati Reds: Hustle (2004)
Tom Sizemore played Pete Rose in this 2004 film. Credit has to be given for
finding an actor who has more personal problems than even Pete Rose.
汤姆赛斯摩在这部2004年的电影,饰演大联盟安打王彼得罗斯
值得一提的是,这位演员私底下的问题居然比罗斯还严重
NL West
San Diego Padres: The Kid From Left Field (1979)
Gary Coleman plays the manager of the San Diego Padres, making decisions
based on his father’s (Robert Guillaume) instructions. I used to love this
movie as a little kid, and can remember how upsetting it was to not see
Arnold Jackson or Benson Dubois sitting in the dugout the first time I
watched the Padres play on television.
过世童星盖瑞柯曼在本片饰演教士队的总教练,并借由他父亲的指导下战术
当我还是小孩时,我很爱这部片,也因此永远记得我第一次看教士球赛转播时,
没看到Arnold Jackson 或Benson Dubois(这两者都是柯曼演出过的角色)
坐在球员休息区,是多么让我感到失望!
Arizona Diamondbacks: General Hospital (2009)
Other than the brilliant Nine Innings at Ground Zero (remember, no
documentaries), the D-Backs don’t really have a notable appearance in film.
So, yes, we improvised. Behold, current Oakland A’s outfielder Conor Jackson
who — as a member of the Diamondbacks — appeared on an episode of General
Hospital in 2009.
除了充满智慧且拍摄精美,记录响尾蛇队史唯一冠历程的Nine Innings at
Ground Zero外(记住,我们不能选纪录片),蛇队也从未有在著名电影亮相
的经验,所以我们只能列出现运动家外野手Conor Jackson,2009还是小蛇
一员时,在肥皂剧General Hospital其中一集的客串演出了
Los Angeles Dodgers: The Jackie Robinson Story (1950)
What makes this film interesting is that it’s a scripted film about Robinson
’s life, but Robinson plays himself. This would be like Mark Zuckerberg
playing himself in The Social Network.
这部片有趣的地方在于,虽然他是用剧情片的方式呈现罗宾森的一生,但饰演者
仍然是罗宾森本人。这感觉就像是让脸书创办人左克柏在社群网站扮演自己
San Francisco Giants: The Fan (1996)
台译烈火终结令
I can still hear Robert De Niro shouting “Bob-bay!” This movie contains one
of the worst baseball scenes ever depicted — something that resembles a
hurricane hits the San Fransisco Bay area, yet the game isn’t delayed. Sure.
But, hey, the World Series champion Giants!
劳勃狄尼洛在片中大喊“Bob-bay!”的场景,至今仍然在我耳里不停地播放
本片拥有棒球片史上剧本写得最糟糕的场景-强力飓风袭击旧金山,
结果球赛依然能照常进行。是很瞎,但这可是去年世界大赛冠军巨人队耶!
Colorado Rockies: The Scout (1994)
台译王牌大联盟
By far the biggest stretch on this list. Sorry, Rockies fans, but there
really aren’t any films depicting your team. If there is, please share! For
now, you get The Scout. Why? Because when Steve Nebraska is given a workout,
he does so in front of a representative every Major League team — which, in
1994, included the Rockies.
很有可能是目前最让人摸不著头绪的名单,但洛矶迷们,
对不起啊,因为真的没有其他有提到你们球队的电影了!
(如果有的话,麻烦还跟这位作者联络一下)
现在你们只能用这部布兰登费雪主演的电影充饥一下
至于为何会提到本片呢?因为当主角Steve Nebraska试球时,所有大联盟球队
都派代表参加了,其中当然也包括那时刚成立不久的洛矶队
译按:其实这也是一部以洋基作为主角的电影,当时的老板G.史坦布瑞纳
甚至还在片中饰演自己呢!
