Oscar Taveras(享年22)の事故死は、Cardinalsだけでなく、これからのMLB全体を覆う悲劇になりかねない損失と言えるかもしれないと感じますね。 Mike Mathenyも、独自の言い方で、次のような言葉を寄せています(ESPNより)。 In my opinion, the word 'love' is the most misused and misunderstood word in the English language. It is not popular for men to use this word, and even less popular for athletes. But, there is not a more accurate word for how a group of men share a deep and genuine concern for each other. We loved Oscar, and he loved us. That is what a team does, that is what a family does. 「"love"という語は、英単語の中で最も誤用、誤解されている言葉だと思っている。滅多矢鱈に使うような言葉ではない」した上で、"We loved Oscar, and he loved us. That is what a team does, that is what a family does."と結んでいます。後れ馳せながら、合掌。
