[閒聊] Tony Gwynn的19項特殊事蹟

https://www.mlb.com/news/19-facts-about-the-career-of-tony-gwynn-c177069734

There's never a bad time to rehash the insane numbers Tony Gwynn put up
during his 20 Hall of Fame seasons in San Diego.

從來沒有什麼時候是不適合回味Tony Gwynn在聖地牙哥的20年間所留下的瘋狂數據。

But this Saturday would have been Gwynn's 60th birthday. To commemorate the
occasion, we've compiled a list of 19 facts about No. 19.

但這週六（美國時間5月9日）是Gwynn的60冥辰。為了紀念這特殊日子，我們整理了這位背號19號傳奇的19個事蹟。

Happy birthday, Mr. Padre.

生日快樂，教士先生。

‧ The historic 1994 season in which Gwynn batted .394 -- the closest anyone
has come to hitting .400 since Ted Williams did so -- was cut short by the
strike. Could Gwynn have reached .400? It's pure speculation at this point,
but he was batting .423/.472/.613 in the second half that year. Gwynn's .334
career second-half batting average is the third best in the last 50 years.

Gwynn那個打出了繼Ted Williams之後任何人最接近四割男紀錄一次的.394打擊率的史詩級1994年球季因罷工而中斷。若球季沒中斷，Gwynn有可能成為四割男嗎？雖然現在這完全只能臆測，但他當年下半季的打擊三圍為.423/.472/.613。Gwynn生涯下半季的.334打擊率是過去50年來第三高的成績。

‧ Rather famously, Gwynn struck out three times in a game only once --
against Bob Welch and the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1986. But Gwynn played a
pivotal role in that game, nonetheless, singling in the eighth, and scoring
the tying run in the 10th after reaching on an error. In fact, he added 37.9
percent to the Padres' win probability that day.

更為人知的一件事是Gwynn生涯只有在1986年一場對上由Bob Welch主投的道奇隊的比賽中單場被三振三次。儘管如此，Gwynn在那場比賽扮演了關鍵的角色：第八局時敲出一壘安打，並於第十局靠失誤上壘後跑回追平分。事實上，他那天為教士隊貢獻了37.9%的WPA。

‧ Including postseason play, Gwynn faced 18 Hall of Fame pitchers for a
total of 541 plate appearances. That’s essentially a full season’s worth of
plate appearances exclusively against Hall of Famers. Gwynn batted
.331/.371/.426.

Gwynn生涯含季後賽共面對18位名人堂投手，並留下相當於一整季打席數的541打席。而他在這541打席的三圍為.331/.371/.426。

‧ In his entire 20-year career, Gwynn struck out 434 times -- an average of
21.7 K's per season. Last season, 129 players had struck out 22 times by the
end of April.

Gwynn生涯二十個年頭共被三振434次，也就是平均每季僅被三振21.7次。去年球季有129位球員在四月結束時就已被三振22次。

‧ Since Gwynn debuted in 1982, a hitter has finished a season with a batting
average above .350 only 46 times. Gwynn has seven of those seasons, the most
of any player in that span.

自從Gwynn於1982年初登場後，單季打擊率超過.350僅被46人次達成過。而Gwynn七次達成此門檻為這段期間所有球員之最。

‧ Gwynn batted .300 in every season but his rookie year, giving him a record
19 straight seasons above .300. J.D. Martinez is the current leader with fourstraight .300-plus seasons.

Gwynn生涯除了菜鳥年，連續19球季超過三成打擊率。目前進行中的紀錄是J.D. Martinez的連四年三成打擊率。

‧ Gwynn finished his career batting .302 with two strikes. That's easily the
best mark for any player since numbers were first tracked by count in the
mid-1970s. Wade Boggs comes in second at .262. In fact, in 1994, Gwynn battedan absurd .397 in two-strike counts.

Gwynn生涯兩好球後的打擊率為.302。這是1970年代中期開始針對好壞球數記錄打擊率後的最佳紀錄。第二好的成績是Wade Boggs的.262。事實上，Gwynn在1994年於兩好球後的打擊率是極為誇張的.397。

‧ Six times in Padres history has a player recorded 200 hits in a season.
Five of those seasons belong to Gwynn (1984, '86, '87, '89, '97). Mark
Loretta had 208 hits in 2004.

教士隊史上共出現六次球員單季200安的紀錄。而Gwynn就佔了五次（1984、86、87、89、97）。剩下的一次則是Mark Loretta於2004年的單季208安。

‧ On 45 separate occasions, Gwynn recorded four hits in a game -- 11 more
times than he recorded a multi-strikeout game.

Gywnn生涯中單場四安以上的比賽有45場，比他單場吞下複數次三振的場次還多11場。

‧ Gwynn faced Greg Maddux 107 times in his career -- more than any other
pitcher. He batted .415/.476/.521 against the four-time Cy Young Award winnerand Hall of Famer. That's easily the highest average against Maddux for any
player with at least 70 plate appearances.

Gwynn生涯面對Greg Maddux共107次，是他生涯面對的投手中次數最多的。而面對這位四座賽揚獎得主、名人堂球星，Gwynn的打擊三圍為.415/.476/.521。這想當然是與Maddux對陣70打席以上的任何打者中所留下最高的數字。

‧ Of course, it's not like Gwynn's numbers against Maddux were an anomaly.
He torched just about every pitcher he faced. Among the 38 pitchers he faced
at least 50 times, his lowest average was a .243 mark against Dwight Gooden.
He batted at least .300 against 32 of those 38 pitchers, including Tom
Glavine, Nolan Ryan, John Smoltz and Orel Hershiser.

當然，Gwynn對上Maddux所留下的打擊數字非個案。他幾乎對上任何投手都有所斬獲。在他面對至少50次的38名投手中所留下的最低打擊率是對上Dwight Gooden的.243。而他面對在那之中的32名投手留下了超過三成打擊率，這其中包括Tom Glavine、Nolan Ryan、John Smoltz和Orel Hershiser。

‧ Padres fans have called the second game of the season, "Tony Gwynn Opening
Day" for years, because of Gwynn's affection for the fans who showed up for
Game 2. Nobody owned "Tony Gwynn Opening Day" quite like, well, Tony Gwynn.
He batted .403/.439/.500 in Game 2 of 162.

教士球迷多年來將每季的第二場比賽稱作「Tony Gwynn開幕戰」，因為Gwynn帶給出席第二場比賽的球迷的熱情無人能及：他生涯於每年第二戰的打擊三圍為.403/.439/.500。

‧ Gwynn played both baseball and basketball at San Diego State, and he still
owns several records in basketball for the Aztecs. His 590 career assists arethe most in school history and his 221 assists in the 1979-80 season are alsoa record. In fact, Gwynn owns the top three single-game assist tallies in
Aztecs history -- with his 18 dimes against UNLV on Feb. 5, 1980, as the most.

Gwynn過去在聖地牙哥州大就讀時棒籃雙棲，而他至今仍保有該校籃球隊的諸多紀錄。他生涯590助攻以及1979-80球季間的單季221次助攻皆為校史第一。事實上，該校籃球隊的校史單場前三高助攻紀錄都是Gwynn所創下的，其中最高的是於1980年2月5日對上UNLV所創下的單場18助攻。

‧ In the past 100 years, nobody has more batting titles than Gwynn's eight.
Only Ty Cobb, who won 12, all before 1920, had more.

過去100年來沒有任何人的單季打擊王頭銜比Gwynn的八次還多。史上更多的只有Ty Cobb全數於1920年前所達成的12次打擊王頭銜。

‧ Gwynn's .338 career batting average is the highest in the expansion era --
and it's not even that close, as Gwynn sits 10 points ahead of Boggs, in
second. The last player to finish his career with a higher average was Ted
Williams' .344 mark.

Gwynn生涯.338打擊率是擴編年代以來最高的紀錄，遙遙領先了第二高的Boggs多達10個
千分點。上一個比Gwynn的生涯打擊率還高的是Ted Williams的.344打擊率。

‧ Since World War II, Gwynn is the only player to bat above .350 in five
consecutive seasons (from 1993-97). Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby and Al Simmons
did so before him.

Gwynn是自二戰後唯一一個連續五季（1993-97）打擊率超過.350的球員。Ty Cobb、Al
Simmons和Rogers Hornsby都是在此之前達成此紀錄。

‧ In 2007, Gwynn was inducted into the Hall of Fame after receiving 532 of
545 votes -- the 10th-highest total in MLB history.

Gwynn於2007年囊括545票中的532票，以史上第十高票之姿入選名人堂。

‧ Gwynn owns all-time Padres records for batting average, runs, hits, total
bases, doubles, triples, RBIs, walks, stolen bases and games played.

教士隊隊史的最高打擊率、最多得分、安打、壘打數、二壘打、三壘打、打點、四壞、盜壘、以及出賽數紀錄都是Gwynn所創下的。

‧ If Gwynn’s 20-year career were split into two careers, 10 seasons apiece,
he would rank first and second in franchise history in runs, hits, total
bases and doubles.

若將Gwynn的二十年生涯切對半，他仍會在隊史得分、安打、壘打數和二壘打中分別名列第一和第二。

題外話：十年前的美國時間5月9日（當天也是母親節），運動家隊投手Dallas Braden投出大聯盟史上第19場完全比賽。
