除了Jamie Moyer之外,联盟中还有另一位老妖怪在坚持奋战,他就是 Omar Vizquel
在45岁生日的前夕,蓝鸟队昨天宣布将Vizquel放进开季名单当中,也让他正式成为
大联盟现役最老的position player。
One month away from his 45th birthday, Omar Vizquel was added to the
Toronto Blue Jays roster on Wednesday, making him the oldest position player
in Major League Baseball.
Vizquel今年一月才跟蓝鸟签下小联盟合约,他靠春训的优异表现替自己争得一席之地。
过去两年他在白袜队担任工具人以及年轻球员的导师角色。
The 11-time Gold Glove winner had signed a minor league contract in January.
He spent the previous two years with the Chicago White Sox as a utilityman
and mentor to younger players.
Vizquel月底就45岁了,三次入选全明星的他,这个春训的打击率高达.433。
Vizquel turns 45 on April 24. The three-time All-Star shortstop from
Venezuela is batting .433 in 15 exhibition games. He had a bunt single and
scored a run in Toronto’s win over the Orioles.
2012将是Vizquel在大联盟打拼的第24个球季。
This will be Vizquel’s 24th season in the majors.
