But in 2014, Aaron Boone, who grew up in a baseball family, his dad was a big leaguer.

He was working in the Brewers front office a few years ago when Aaron called him out of the audience at a get together and wanted him to speak about how council a Milwaukee kid had somehow made it to the major leagues and council remembers thinking to himself, I can't go up there and talk because that's Hank Aaron and then Hank Aaron started asking him questions, and council told me I cannot believe this is happening to me.

幾年前他在釀酒人前臺工作，當時亞倫在一次聚會上把他從觀眾席上叫出來，希望他講講議會一個密爾沃基的孩子是如何以某種方式進入大聯盟的，議會記得自己在想，我不能上去說話，因為那是漢克-亞倫，然後漢克-亞倫開始問他問題，議會告訴我，我不能相信這發生在我身上。

這就是他在遊戲中的崇高地位，也是我整個職業生涯的亮點。

41 years of covering baseball was several years ago.

這是我在大聯盟球館裡度過的最溫暖、最有趣的夜晚。

And after the game, I looked on Twitter, which I don't do very often, and some guy wrote in and said, If you find anyone in your life who looks at you like Tim Kurkjian looked at Hank Aaron, you should marry that person.

比賽結束後，我在推特上看了看，這是我不常做的事，有個人寫進來說，如果你在生活中找到一個人，他看你的眼神就像蒂姆-庫克堅看漢克-亞倫一樣，你應該嫁給他。

I mean, just listen, looking at your piece and and what you put together about Hank Aaron, you obviously highlighted what he had to endure.

Um, what I marvel at is the fact that he was able to with withstand it, to overcome it, to excel in spite of it all.

嗯，我驚奇的是，他能夠與承受它，克服它，出色的事實，儘管這一切。

我不知道他在大聯盟棒球界升遷的時候，因為所承受的和所要經歷的事情，他對這些年的堅持有多少，如果有的話？

如果他曾經與你分享過什麼，站在與站在與你到今天，關於他不得不忍受，如何讓他真正的領域？

Well, he told us that night on the air just how difficult it waas.

他告訴我們那晚的直播有多難。

But instead of saying Woe is me, look what I have to go through.

但是，與其說是我的悲哀，不如說是看看我的經歷。

Instead, he acknowledged just how much stronger it made him.

相反，他承認這讓他變得多麼強大。

He's one of the strongest men that we've ever met, not in a physical sense, but in a mental and an emotional sense.

他是我們見過的最強壯的男人之一，不是在身體上，而是在精神和情感上。

And I think the passing of Hank Aaron that night was all that he needed to move on to.

而我認為那晚漢克-阿倫的離世，是他需要繼續前進的全部。

The next stage is you guys know Tom House, the A picture former pitcher caught number 7 15 in the left center field bullpen and when he ran the ball into home plate and handed it toe.

It occurs to me when you talked about how he's underrated, how underrated.

Just as a baseball player, it's hard enough for young people to get their minds around how big baseball was then.

And when you talk about how what a great player he was and you said he was overshadowed by more dynamic players.

The one who comes to mind, of course, is Willie Mays, who cut came up a few years before.

Hank Aaron, who probably a lot of people, wanted to be the guy who broke the home run record, who was a little more spectacular and played center field, and all Hank Aaron did was keep hit, not just hitting home runs, but being a great player year after year after year.

漢克-阿倫，可能很多人，都想成為那個打破全壘打紀錄的人，他的表現更壯觀一些，打的是中場，而漢克-阿倫所做的，就是一直打，不僅僅是打出全壘打，而是年復一年的成為一個偉大的球員。

That's how great a hitter he waas and many years ago I did a very informal poll of the greatest defense of players at each position and Hank Aaron in my very informal poll.

這就是他是多麼偉大的擊球手，很多年前，我做了一個非常非正式的調查，每個位置上最偉大的防守球員，漢克-亞倫在我非常非正式的調查中。

But I talked to a lot of people had Hank Aaron is the third greatest defensive right fielder ever.

And he said, Well, first off, my dad was a boxer, so he had big hands and wrists and he said, and he used to carry blocks of ice up many stairs in order to bring it and deliver it to people.

他說，嗯，首先，我爸爸是個拳擊手，所以他的手和手腕都很大，他說，他曾經把冰塊搬上許多樓梯，以便把冰塊帶到並送到人們手中。

And he said, That's where I developed my hand strength.

他說，我的手勁就是在那裡練出來的。

I'd go with my dad holding these giant blocks of ice in these ice tongs, he said.
