Here's a baseball Hall of Fame vote for the 'steroid guys': Opinion
我投給了藥人
In trying to save the baseball Hall of Fame from steroid cheaters, the voters
are destroying it.
為了不讓藥人進入名人堂 投票者們的行為卻正在摧毀它
Since the days of Babe Ruth, the Hall of Fame has played a special role in
American sports, handing down the history of the nation's essential game from
fathers and mothers to sons and daughters. Veteran baseball writers have cast
annual ballots and proclaimed: These were the players fans clamored to see,
marveled at, argued about. These were the players who mattered. These were
the icons of their eras.
自從貝比之後 名人堂一直都有特殊的地位 被選進的球員都是最強的 是偶像
The Hall of Fame became something totally different with today's announcement
that voters have slammed the museum's door on a generation of stars that
includes seven-time Most Valuable Player Barry Bonds, seven-time Cy Young
Award winner Roger Clemens, and the great former Dodger Mike Piazza,
first-time candidates undone by their connection to performance-enhancing
drugs.
今天的名人堂有點不一樣了 舉凡 Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mike Piazza
這些最強的球員卻因為跟藥沾上關係而不得其門而入
The Hall of Fame now is the place where steroid suspects are judged.
名人堂變成了聖人堂
Voters, many of whom presumably helped to select Bonds and Clemens for all of
those awards, have delivered a redacted history to future generations: Bonds'
record 762 home runs
