The phrase “history is written by the victors” applies to baseball, too.
Every postseason sees its share of incredible plays and performances, but
only so many of them can fit on highlight packages. Champions ultimately get
those spots.
俗话说“历史是赢家写的”，这在棒球中也能套用。每年的季后赛都有许多不可思议的
精湛表现，但精华回顾的空间有限，而最后只有胜利者的表现会被记录下来。
But as enough years pass by, there’s also time to reflect on the October
legends who didn’t raise the Commissioner’s Trophy. Here is a look back at
some would-be postseason legends that gave everything they could
individually, but saw their teams fall short in the end.
但随着时间流逝，我们也该花点时间回顾那些没能高举奖杯的十月传奇们的表现。现在
我们就来看看一些个人付出所有、但球队饮恨而原本可能成为季后赛传奇的表现。
Zack Greinke, Astros
The moment: 2019 World Series Game 7
For six efficient innings, it looked as though the Astros truly had made the
title-winning trade that many speculated when they acquired Greinke from
Arizona at the Deadline. He was carving up the Nationals, needing just 28
pitches to complete the first three innings and facing the minimum through
four. Greinke’s slow curve was fooling Washington’s hitters, and he was
making play after play on the mound that showed why he was a six-time Gold
Glove Award winner.
乍看之下太空人透过Greinke那超高效率的六局一举洗刷了他们自交易大限得到Greinke
以来外界对这笔交易的质疑。国民打线对他完全没辙；他只花了28球投完前三局，而四
局投完他仅面对12名打者。Greinke的超慢曲球将国民队打者玩弄于股掌之上，而他一再
透过投手丘上的美技来说明他何以为六度金手套奖得主。
"He was incredible. Absolutely incredible," said manager AJ Hinch. "I think
he did everything we could have asked for and more."
“他的表现简直不可思议”教头AJ Hinch表示“我想他的表现远超出我们所能要求的。”
But the Astros failed to take advantage of multiple scoring chances against
Max Scherzer, and everything changed when Anthony Rendon homered with one out
in the seventh to cut Houston’s lead to 2-1. Greinke walked Juan Soto, and
Hinch decided to bring in one of his ace relievers, Will Harris, to snuff out
the rally. But Howie Kendrick greeted Harris with his go-ahead homer off the
foul pole, and the Nationals were on their way.
但太空人队打线面对Max Scherzer无法好好利用那不只一次的得分机会，而当Anthony
Rendon七上一出局敲出阳春弹将比数追成2-1时，一切都变了。Greinke保送Juan Soto，
而Hinch决定派出王牌后援之一的Will Harris来扑灭攻势。但Howie Kendrick用一支打
中全垒打标竿的超前全垒打来向Harris问候，而国民队就此展开攻势。
Rajai Davis, Indians
The moment: 2016 World Series Game 7
One fanbase was going to walk away from the 2016 World Series with hearts
sunk and a championship drought still intact, and Indians fans knew that
going into Game 7. But man, did it ever seem like momentum was on Cleveland’
s side after Davis
