冈本和真女儿选队标后加盟蓝鸟队

日本重炮手冈本和真与大联盟多伦多蓝鸟队签下四年合约。其女儿对球队标志的偏好在决定中发挥了关键作用。他在周二的亮相新闻发布会上透露了这一故事。

29岁的日本重炮手冈本和真,在年幼女儿的意见下决定加盟大联盟多伦多蓝鸟队,这被誉为棒球界最温馨的自由球员故事之一。该四年合约于周日签署,冈本于周二在多伦多举行的新闻发布会上被正式介绍为球队最新成员。

在日本职棒读卖巨人队效力11个赛季期间,冈本确立了自己作为日本最令人畏惧的右打击球手之一的地位。作为六次NPB全明星球员,他三次领跑联赛全垒打。然而上赛季,由于在守一垒时与击球员碰撞导致的肘伤,他仅出赛69场比赛。

在敲定选择前,冈本向女儿展示了所有30支MLB球队的标志,并询问她最喜欢哪一个。她选择了多伦多那带有融入红色枫叶的蓝鸟头造型标志,这一偏好伴随他贯穿整个决策过程。

在新闻发布会上,冈本用英语说道:“非常感谢这个机会。我很高兴加入蓝鸟队。我会每天努力,为球队尽最大努力。感谢你们的支持。很高兴认识大家。蓝鸟队加油。”

蓝鸟队总经理罗斯·阿特金斯称赞了这一补充:“拥有冈本和真这样的补充……是我们组织的重要一步。我们今天绝对变得更好了。”蓝鸟队在上赛季世界大赛第七场加时赛中负于洛杉矶道奇队,将从这位休赛期顶级日本自由球员的强大火力中受益。
