“Right when the Angels decided to decline my option, the Diamondbacks called
that very first day,” Calhoun said. “Right from the very beginning, I think
just for me personally, I wanted to be on a team that wanted me. And having
that phone call on the very first day and the Diamondbacks being so engaging,
it was something that was kind of lining up and obviously a place I really
wanted to be.”
"当天使决定拒绝执行选择权时 蛇蛇第一天就打给了我
从最开始 我就这么想:我想要加入真正想要我的球队
蛇蛇这通电话对我实在是个莫大的鼓励
显然地 这个地方是我真心期盼的"
The 32-year-old was born in Buckeye, a suburb of Phoenix, and grew up a
diehard D-backs fan.
现年32岁的Calhoun 出生于凤凰城附近的郊区Buckeye 从小就是蛇蛇铁粉
During Arizona's run to the 2001 World Series title, Calhoun watched every
game and said he was the only one awake in his house when Luis Gonzalez’s
bloop single gave the D-backs a Game 7 walk-off win over the Yankees.

他还说当Luis Gonzalez在G7打出再见安打时 他是全家唯一醒著的人
“I lost my mind, obviously being a fan and my team wins it, I thought it was
the coolest thing ever,” Calhoun said. “You know, this is really kind of a
dream come true, honestly. I’m born and raised here. Grew up a Diamondbacks
fan. I think anybody who dreams of playing in the big leagues and you get
there, your dream has really come true. But as a kid growing up, I always
dreamed of playing for the Diamondbacks and now I’ve got that opportunity. I
couldn’t be more excited.”
"我当时仿佛失了神
自己作为粉丝 而支持的球队赢下世界大赛 这简直是史上最酷的事了!
你知道吗? 这种感觉就像美梦成真
我在这里出生 也在这里长大 从小就是蛇蛇铁粉
相信任何人踏入大联盟时 梦想便已成真
但是我从小不只梦想着进入大联盟 更梦想着为蛇蛇效力
而如今 我得到了那个机会 这实在是让我兴奋地不能自已啊!"
