基特語錄 Quotation from Derek Jeter

即使是只為了王建民出賽才看洋基的比賽，但事實上洋基隊陣中我最欣賞的球員是隊長基特。除去王建民之外，其次我所欣賞的則是捕手波沙達和三壘手A-Rod。

Although now I watch the Yankees' games only because Chien-Ming Wang will pitch for them, actually the Yankees player I like the most is the captain Derek Jeter. Besides Wang, the next players I like are the catcher Jorge Posada and the third-base A-Rod.

今天洋基又敗給藍鳥。賽前洋基才開過全隊會議，但還是沒有立即的效果。不過基特在會議後接受記者訪問時說的一段話我覺得很值得摘錄下來。

Today, the Yankees lost their game to the Blue Jays. They had a extended pre-game meeting, but it does not seem to help immediately. Yet, the words Jeter said to the reporters after the meeting deserve to be quoted.

(談到輸球)「你應該覺得困擾。」基特說：「它應該是讓你感覺不愉快的事。你永遠不應該接受它。當你開始接受失敗，你就開始有麻煩了。」

(Concerning losing) "It should bother you," Jeter said. "It should be something that doesn't make you feel good. You never accept it. When you start accepting losing, that's when you're in trouble."
