Pat Zachry, who won a share of the 1976 National League Rookie of the Year
for the World Series champion Cincinnati Reds and was traded to the New York
Mets the following year for Tom Seaver, has died. He was 71.
Pat Zachry於1976年獲得國聯新人王，該年辛辛那提紅人隊獲得世界大賽冠軍，隔年1977
年被交易到紐約大都會隊換得Tom Seaver
Zachry died Thursday at son Josh’s home in Austin, Texas, following a
lengthy illness, Mets spokesman Jay Horwitz said Saturday. Zachry would have
turned 72 on April 24.
紐約大都會隊發言人Jay Horwitz表示，Zachry長期患病於在兒子Josh位於德州的家中去
世。 4月24日，Zachry就72歲了。
The Reds held a moment of silence in Zachry’s memory before Friday night’s
game against the Mets.
辛辛那提紅人隊對紐約大都會隊的比賽前為Zachry默哀片刻。
A 6-foot-5 right-hander, Zachry was 69-67 with a 3.52 ERA in 10 major league
season with the Reds (1976-77), Mets (1977-82), Los Angeles Dodgers (1983-84)
and Philadelphia (1985).
Zachry生涯成績為69勝67敗、防禦率3.52。
He went 14-7 with a 2.74 ERA in his first season and tied San Diego pitcher
Butch Metzger in the rookie award voting. Zachry beat Philadelphia at
Veterans Stadium in Game 2 of the NL Championship Series, then won Game 3 of
the World Series at Yankee Stadium as the Reds swept New York for their
second straight title.
他在新人球季以14勝7敗、防禦率2.74，與聖地牙哥教士隊Butch Metzger一同獲得國聯新
人王。Zachry在國聯冠軍賽擊退費城費城人隊，然後在世界大賽對紐約洋基隊贏得第三勝
，最後辛辛那提紅人隊橫掃紐約洋基隊，達成世界大賽冠軍二連霸。
When the Mets sought to trade Seaver after the star pitcher got into a
dispute with team chairman M. Donald Grant, they struck a deal with
Cincinnati that brought them Zachry along with infielder Doug Flynn, rookie
outfielder Steve Henderson and outfield prospect Dan Norman.
當紐約大都會隊明星投手Tome Seaver與紐約大都會隊老闆M. Donald Grant發生爭吵時，
紐約大都會隊與辛辛那提紅人隊達成交易，換來了Zachry、Doug Flynn、Steve
Henderson與Dan Norman。
“We weren’t going to replace Tom. No one could,” Flynn said in a statement
issued by the Mets. “We just stuck together and played as hard we could.”
Flynn說他們無法取代Tom（Seaver），Flynn在紐約大都會隊的聲明說：我們只是在一起
盡力打球。
Zachry went 10-6 with a 3.33 ERA in his first full season with the Mets,
starting 7-1 and earning his only All-Star selection.
Zachry在紐約大都會隊第一個球季10勝6敗，同年入選美國職棒明星賽。
“He doesn’t get the credit he deserves for his career,” Flynn said. “On
top of everything, he was the greatest teammate anyone could ever have.”
Flynn說Zachry應該更好，他是一個很棒的隊友。
Zachry was born in Richmond, Texas, attended Richfield High School in Waco
and was selected by Cincinnati with the 454th pick in the 19th round of the
1970 amateur draft. He made his major league debut against Houston on April
11, 1976.
Zachry出生於德州，他在美國職棒選秀會被辛辛那提紅人隊以第19輪挑中，1976年4月11
日對休士頓太空人隊生涯初登場。
His was 10-3 for the Mets at the halfway point of the 1978 season, when the
team was 34-47. He lost three straight decisions and when he allowed a
go-ahead single to Cincinnati’s George Foster on July 24 and was replaced
with reliever Kevin Kobel by manager Joe Torre, Zachry kicked a helmet in the
dugout, caught a spike on the steps and broke his left foot, an injury
diagnosed 10 days later ended his season.
他在1978年三連敗後（7月9日至7月19日），7月24日因表現不佳被Joe Torre換下時，他
在休息室踢了一個頭盔後摔斷了腳，球季報銷。
“I was mad at myself for throwing him three straight changeups,” said
Zachry, who earlier gave up a hit to Pete Rose, who tied Tommy Holmes’ NL
hitting streak record at 37 games.
Pete Rose於該場比賽打破Tommy Holmes的連續37場安打的國聯紀錄。
In addition to his son, Zachry is survived by daughter Meredith Knight. Josh
was a quarterback for Baylor from 2000-02 and Meredith an equestrian.
