芝加哥白袜队指关节球投手威尔伯·伍德84岁去世

以指关节球和耐力著称的芝加哥白袜队传奇投手威尔伯·伍德于84岁去世,球队周日晚些时候宣布。伍德在大联盟棒球联赛效力17个赛季,最后12年效力白袜队。他的职业生涯亮点包括多次入选全明星,以及在1970年代领先大联盟先发登板和投球局数。

威尔伯·伍德是马萨诸塞州剑桥人,1960年与家乡波士顿红袜队签约,次年19岁在大联盟首秀。他在1961-66赛季大部分时间在红袜队和匹兹堡海盗队的低级联赛度过,在大联盟出场73次,先发11场,防卫率4.17。1966赛季后被交易到芝加哥白袜队,伍德转为全职指关节球投手并取得成功。从1967-70年,他防卫率2.49,并在1968-70年连续三年领先大联盟救援出场,并在1968年获得MVP票选。回顾投球风格,伍德在2019年接受《体育画报》采访时说:“我作为快球/曲球投手签约,在低级联赛表现很好,但在大联盟不够用……我决定放弃曲球和其他球种,100%投指关节球。”1971年的一次伤病为伍德打开了轮值席位,开启了五年主导时期。他四次赢得20胜,四次领先大联盟先发登板,并在1971-75年投出1681 2/3局防卫率3.08。伍德三次进入Cy Young奖投票前五,包括1972年位列盖洛德·佩里之后的第二名。以橡胶手臂闻名,他经常两天或三天休息就登板,以224次先发领先棒球——比任何其他投手多23次——以及那些局数,比任何人多87局。只有汤姆·西弗在那段时间WAR超过他。伍德补充道:“人们说我因为只投指关节球而不疼,但那不是真的……我确实会疼。”他的职业生涯于1976年5月9日脱轨,当时一记直线安打击碎了他的膝盖骨,结束了赛季。伍德回归后挣扎,在1977-78年290 2/3局防卫率5.11后于37岁退役。“我就是无法像受伤前那样投球。那夺走了乐趣,”他解释道。伍德最终战绩164胜156负,防卫率3.24,投球2684局。三次全明星(1971-72、1974),仍是白袜队胜利、投球局数、出场和三振领先者。他从1984-89年每年获得名人堂票选。
