On a conference call of perhaps 40 players and board members held Jan. 13
from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., outraged union members repeatedly requested that
Rodriguez be expelled, sources said. Following a roll call of players present
on the line, according to one participant and another familiar with the call,
the first player to speak asked bluntly: Can we kick him out of the union?
前些時後約50位工會成員討論A-Rod事件
第一位球員就直白的問"可以趕走A-Rod嗎?"
Advised by union leadership that was not possible, more players nonetheless
expressed the same opinion. Not a single member defended Rodriguez, one
player said, in a forum where there are frequent disagreements.
答案是不行 不過沒人幫A-Rod護航
"That's what everyone was thinking," the player said. "We wanted to get on
this call and not let him back. [To say,] ‘This is our game and we don't
want you in it.'"
"沒人想讓他回來'
While many players allowed for Rodriguez to fight his suspension as he saw
fit, they were incensed he would turn on his "brothers," as one player termed
the membership.
雖然很多球員允許A-Rod上訴禁賽 但他背刺同伴的行為激怒了大家
"It's beyond disappointment," said a player involved in union leadership who
was on the conference call. "What brought it beyond disappointment was the
fact he's suing the union. Guys understand people make bad decisions, they
lie when they're embarrassed or trying to avoid punishment. Those are human
qualities. Guys understand. But what made guys incensed is he would bring a
suit against the union."
"大家明白人總是有腦衝犯錯的時後 但告工會讓大家不滿"
"When he gets up to bat, you can hit him and hit him hard," one player on the
conference call told Yahoo Sports. "That's what I'd do. He sued us. Jhonny
Peralta and Nelson Cruz screwed up. You know what? They owned up to it. They
took their medicine.
某位球員表示"他上來打擊的時後 你可以狠狠砸他 這就是我會做的 他告我們
Peralta和Cruz被抓到打藥 他們也為此付出代價"
"[Rodriguez] needs to be scared of coming back and facing people he sued. If
he can't fear the wrath of getting kicked out or not being included, he's
going to be forced out."
"A-Rod需要被嚇退並面對他控告的人們 如果他還不怕 那他就會被強制退場"
