Tim Hudson writes letter to say thanks to the Braves and Atlanta
Hudson decided to submit a letter to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in
order to say thanks to the Braves and the fans for making him and his family
feel welcome during his nine seasons in Atlanta. The entire letter is not
free — you’ll find it behind a paywall — but feel free to read a couple of
paragraphs below.
在勇士的九季中 哈神和家人一直感到很舒适
因此他特地写封长信表达对亚特兰大球迷的感谢(这篇外电只撷取部份)
“When I was traded from the Oakland A’s to the Atlanta Braves before the
2005 season, a childhood dream was realized. I grew up a Braves fan just a
few hours south of Atlanta, and it was hard for me to believe that I was
going to actually play for the Atlanta Braves and legendary manager Bobby
Cox. My family was young. We had a toddler (Kennedie), a baby (Tess), and a
baby on the way (Kade). We were welcomed into the Braves organization with
open arms. Our son was born two weeks into my first season, and our journey
began. The Atlanta Braves are really all that our children know about this
crazy baseball life, and we are so thankful for this upbringing for them.”
当我在05年从奥克兰被交易到勇士时，孩提时代的美梦成真
住在离亚特兰大南方距此数小时的车程，我从小就是勇士迷
难以置信我可以替这支球队付出、为传奇教头Cox效力
那时我才刚刚成家，勇士体系的一切敞开双手欢迎我们
小孩成长的过程中，“亚特兰大勇士”给予他们疯狂的棒球人生
对于球团给我们的照顾感到相当感激
“And to the city of Atlanta and the amazing fans in all of Braves country…
my deepest thanks. Braves fans are one-of-a-kind. Your passion to win comes
close to equaling that of the players that go out on the field each and every
game. But when the team goes through rough patches, you’re there to
encourage and cheer and believe that things will turn around. In my 9
seasons, we definitely had some very high moments and some extremely
disappointing moments. But one thing that I learned is this – once a Braves
fan, always a Braves fan. No matter what. And as a player, that means more
than you could understand.”
对这座城市中很棒的球迷表示无上谢意，勇士球迷们是独一无二的
你们对于胜利的热情牵动着所有球员情绪
当遭遇低潮时你们鼓励我们并相信情况会好转
我在这里所待的九个球季中有辉煌时期也有失望的片刻
但我从中学习到的事情是“一日勇士迷，终身勇士迷”
身为一个球员，这带给我的体认远比你能了解的还多
