標題:The greatest father-son duos in MLB history
美國職棒大聯盟史上最偉大的父子檔們
內文:You don't have to be the child of a Major Leaguer to become one yourself, but hey, it certainly doesn't hurt.
你不必然要是大聯盟選手的小孩,才能成為大聯盟選手,但是啊,如果是(譯者註:受父親影響成為大聯盟選手)又何妨。
Whether these sons grew up in big league clubhouses, benefited from their fathers' expert coaching, or simply inherited some good genes, it's hardly rare to see familiar names from a previous generation resurface in MLB.
無論這些小孩是不是在大聯盟的休息室長大,受益於他們父親專業的指導,或純粹遺傳了他們的優良基因,還是很難在大聯盟看到熟悉、上一代的名字重現在場上。
Just take a look at the current Blue Jays roster, which features Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. It will take quite a bit for these young players to surpass the accomplishments of their fathers, with Dante Bichette a four-time All-Star, and Craig Biggio and Vladimir Guerrero both in the Hall of Fame.
我們看一下最近的最近的藍鳥隊陣容,有Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio以及Vladimir Guerrero Jr.等人,但他們仍需要付出很多的努力,才能超越他們的父親達成的成就。像是Dante Bichette入選過4次全明星陣容,Craig Biggio跟Vladimir Guerrero更雙雙已入選名人堂。
Toronto doesn't have a monopoly on second-generation players, though. Others include Cam Bedrosian (son of Steve), Delino DeShields Jr., Dee Gordon (son of Tom), Cal Quantrill (son of Paul), Dereck Rodríguez (son of Ivan), Travis Shaw (son of Jeff), and Fernando Tatis Jr. That doesn't even include Mike Yastrzemski (grandson of Carl).
不過,多倫多藍鳥並沒有獨攬「球二代」。其他包括Cam Bedrosian(Steve Bedrosian的兒子)、小Delino DeShields、Dee Gordon (Tom Gordon的兒子)、Cal Quantrill(Paul Quantrill的兒子)、Dereck Rodríguez(Ivan Rodríguez的兒子)、Travis Shaw(Jeff Shaw的兒子)以及小Fernando Tatis。還沒有算到Mike Yastrzemski(Carl Yastrzemski的孫子)。
But each will have some work to do in order to qualify for this list of the best father-son duos in Major League history.
但他們都還得拿出更好的表現,才能擠進大聯盟歷史上最好的父子檔之一。
Baseball-Reference.com's Wins Above Replacement (WAR) was used as a rough guideline, with preference given to pairs in which both players achieved significant success.
Baseball-Reference網站的「替代勝場指數(Wins Above Replacement, WAR)」可以當作一個大致的指標,用以決定哪幾對父子檔,得以優先列入都取得不錯成就的名單。
That's why each player on the list accrued at least 10 career WAR, while some other duos that include a Hall of Famer (Yogi Berra, Tony Gwynn, Tony Perez and Tim Raines, for example) were not included.
這就是為什麼列在文中的選手至少要累計10季以上的WAR,以致其他的父子檔,包括名人選手(舉例Yogi Berra、Tony Gwynn、Tony Perez以及Tim Raines),就沒有被列入名單。
All pairs are listed with the father first, and each player's career WAR in parenthesis.
所有列入名單的父子檔都先表列父親,括弧內為每位選手的WAR值。
1. Bobby Bonds (57.9) and Barry Bonds (162.8)
1.Bobby Bonds(57.9)跟Barry Bonds(162.8)
No player in MLB history has racked up more WAR as a position player than the younger Bonds, a seven-time MVP Award winner who owns the single-season and career home run records and pretty much rewrote baseball in the early 2000s.
大聯盟史上沒有任何野手累計了比Barry Bonds更多的WAR值,這位7次MVP得主,保有單季及生涯最多全壘打的紀錄(譯者註:73支全壘打),更在2000年代改寫很多棒球紀錄。
Only allegations of performance-enhancing drug use have kept him waiting for Cooperstown's call. And while Barry overshadows his father, Bobby shouldn't be underrated. The two Bondses are the only two players in history to combine for at least 300 career home runs with at least 400 steals, as well as the only two to go 20-20 in 10 different seasons.
但用體能增強藥物的指控,讓Barry Bonds遲遲等不到古柏鎮(譯者註:名人堂所在地)的召喚。即便Barry Bonds更甚於藍,Bobby Bonds也不應該被低估,兩位Bonds是歷史上唯一都至少擊出300支全壘打、400次盜壘的父子檔,以及至少有10季都有20-20的成績。
2. Ken Griffey Sr. (34.5) and Ken Griffey Jr. (83.8)
2. 老葛瑞非(34.5)跟小葛瑞非(83.8)
This pair actually played together with the 1990-91 Mariners, famously smacking back-to-back home runs against the Angels on Sept. 14, 1990.
葛瑞非父子檔,曾在1990跟1991年一起在水手隊打球,為人熟知的是,在1990年9月14日更同場擊出背靠背的全壘打。
At the time, Griffey Sr. was finishing up a 19-year career that included three All-Star selections and a pair of World Series rings with the Big Red Machine. While he was more steady than spectacular -- logging an OPS+ between 96 and 129 in 14 seasons --
當時,老葛瑞非即將結束19年的生涯, 曾3度入選全明星陣容,跟大紅機器(Big Red Machine,譯者註:紅人隊)拿下過兩次世界大賽冠軍。與其說令人驚艷,老葛瑞非更以穩定著稱,生涯有14個球季的OPS+介於96到129之間。
his son became a megastar. With 630 home runs and 10 Gold Glove Awards, Griffey Jr. cruised into Cooperstown on the first ballot in 2016.
他的兒子更成為超級巨星,生涯630支全壘打,拿了10座金手套獎,小葛瑞非在2016年第一次獲被選資格,就入駐古柏鎮。
3. Felipe Alou (42.2) and Moises Alou (39.9)
This isn't even the whole baseball family. Felipe's brothers, Jesus and Matty, both played 15 seasons in the Majors, with the latter also producing more than 20 WAR. Their cousin Jose Sosa, pitched briefly in MLB, and their nephew Mel Rojas pitched 10 seasons and collected 126 saves.

3.Felipe Alou(42.2)及Moises Alou(39.9)
兩人甚至不是這個棒球家族的全員名單,Felipe的兄弟Jesus和Matty都在大聯盟打了15個球季,Matty Alou生涯也產出了超過20的WAR值。他們的表兄弟Jose Sosa曾短暫在大聯盟投過球,他們的姪子Mel Rojas在大聯盟丟了10個球季,拿下了126個救援點。
But just between the two of them, Felipe and Moises played 34 MLB seasons and racked up more than 4,200 hits, 500 home runs and 750 doubles. And that doesn't include Felipe's 14 years as a manager in Montreal and San Francisco.
但只論Alou父子檔,在大聯盟總共打了34個球季,共擊出4200多支安打,500支全壘打,以及750支二壘安打。還不包括Felipe在蒙特羅博覽會隊以及舊金山巨人隊當了14年的總教練。
未完待續—
4. Ray Boone (25.7) and Bob Boone (27.4)
There actually have been four big league Boones across three generations, and this pair could just as easily include either of Bob's sons, Bret (22.8 WAR) or Aaron (13.5 WAR), who's also a manager with the Yankees.

大聯盟史上其實有四個Boone家族的球員,橫跨了3個世代,這一對的組合也可以輕鬆選入Bob的兒子Bret Boone生涯累計22.8的WAR,以及Aaron Boone的13.5 WAR,後者也是現任洋基隊的總教練。
Bob, a seven-time Gold Glove Award winner, played 19 MLB seasons and ranks third all-time with 2,225 career games caught. His father, Ray, posted a 114 OPS+ in 13 seasons as an infielder, snagging a pair of All-Star selections.
Bob生涯19個球季,得過7次金手套獎,以蹲捕2,225場排名史上第三。他的父親Ray是內野手,在13個球季的OPS+都有114以上,曾入選過兩次全明星陣容。
5. Mel Stottlemyre (40.8) and Todd Stottlemyre (21.1)
For some reason, MLB's father/son duos are heavily tilted toward position players, with the Stottlemyres two of just four pitchers on this list. Mel made five All-Star teams in 11 seasons with the Yankees and posted a career 112 ERA+, but he might have been even better as a pitching coach, earning four World Series rings in that role with the Yanks after winning one with the Mets.

基於某些原因,大聯盟的父子檔通常都以野手居多,兩位Stottlemyre是4個在名單上投手的其中2個。Mel在洋基的11個球季,入選過5次全明星陣容, 他的生涯ERA+ 112,但他在投手教練任內表現更優異,得過4枚世界大賽戒指,也跟大都會拿過一只。
Mel also had two sons pitch in the Majors, and while Mel Jr. lasted just one season, Todd carved out a 14-year career in which he threw more than 2,000 innings and won rings with the 1992 and '93 Blue Jays.
Mel也有兩個兒子在大聯盟擔任投手,不過小Mel只撐了一個球季。Todd Stottlemyre在大聯盟打了14個球季,投了超過2000局,1992年、1993年在藍鳥隊拿下兩次世界大賽冠軍。
