The Tampa Bay Times reported on Friday that Major League Baseball pitcher
Justin Miller, 35, was found dead Wednesday night in Palm Harbor, FL.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office confirmed Miller's death on Friday and a
sheriff's spokeswoman stated that while authorities are investigating, no
cause of death has been determined. The sheriff's office also would not
reveal where his body was found.
前大聯盟選手Justin Miller(35歲)過世,
還未確認死因, 也未公佈屍體在哪找到.
Miller played baseball professionally for 15 years, most recently pitching
for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2010. He also logged time in the majors with
the Toronto Blue Jays, Florida (now Miami) Marlins and San Francisco Giants,
appearing in 216 games. The majority of his time was spent as a reliever, but
he did make 33 big league starts.
職業生涯15年, 最後是在2010年的道奇隊.
也待過藍鳥,馬林魚,巨人, 合計出場216場.
大部分是擔任後援投手, 但是也先發過33場.
The most notable part of his career came in 2004 and had nothing to do with
his performance on the field. After opposing hitters began complaining about
the amount of colorful tattoos Miller had on his arms and how they served as
a distraction, MLB ruled that Miller had to begin wearing long sleeves on the
mound to keep them covered up. That rule would become known as the "Justin
Miller Rule" around baseball and remained a topic of conversation until his
retirement.
在投手丘上的表現一直不怎麼起眼,
直到2004年打者開始抱怨他手上一堆的刺青
(之前他只有身上有刺青,2003年時動手術太無聊就把手臂,手指也弄了一堆刺青),
於是大聯盟官方開始規定 Miller 投球時必須穿長袖,
這個規定也被叫作 "Justin Miller Rule".
According to his wife of 15 years, Jessica Miller, Justin Miller had turned
to coaching since stepping away from the game and even founded Justin
Miller's Legacy Baseball/Softball and Personal Training in Clearwater, FL. in
2012.
"He was gifted at putting things in a language that kids could understand.
That was something he was really proud of," she said.
In addition to his wife, Jessica, Miller also leaves behind two sons Joseph,
18, and Johnnie, 7.
"I think he'd want the world to know that he always did his best at work and
at being a dad," his wife said. "He always tried."
有興趣的人可以google他的照片,不但手上刺青很多
