“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.”
"當天使決定拒絕執行選擇權時 蛇蛇第一天就打給了我
從最開始 我就這麼想:我想要加入真正想要我的球隊
蛇蛇這通電話對我實在是個莫大的鼓勵
顯然地 這個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.
現年32歲的Calhoun 出生於鳳凰城附近的郊區Buckeye 從小就是蛇蛇鐵粉
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.
2001年 蛇蛇打進世界大賽時 Calhoun看了整個系列賽
他還說當Luis Gonzalez在G7打出再見安打時 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.”
"我當時彷彿失了神
自己作為粉絲 而支持的球隊贏下世界大賽 這簡直是史上最酷的事了!
你知道嗎? 這種感覺就像美夢成真
我在這裡出生 也在這裡長大 從小就是蛇蛇鐵粉
相信任何人踏入大聯盟時 夢想便已成真
但是我從小不只夢想著進入大聯盟 更夢想著為蛇蛇效力
而如今 我得到了那個機會 這實在是讓我興奮地不能自已啊!"
