Cuireann an t-\u00fadar t\u00fa<\/span>s lena leabhar<\/span> le ceacht a thabhairt d\u00e1 l\u00e9<\/span>ithe<\/span>oir\u00ed uilig ar dl\u00edthe agus ar n\u00f3sanna an chluiche ch\u00e9anna sin. F\u00e9ach mar a chuireann an t-\u00fadar fh\u00e9in \u00e9 ina r\u00e9amhr\u00e1 m\u00ed<\/span>nithe….<\/span><\/p>

\u201cOver a long publishing lunch in London, I realised that my British friends, while enjoying the story of Calico Joe and grasping most of it, did not understand the game of baseball and were baffled by its terminology.\u201d <\/span><\/p>

Leis an sc\u00e9al sin a leigheas, scr\u00ed<\/span>obh an<\/span> t-\u00fa<\/span>dar aiste de 5,000 focal<\/span>, ag iarraidh an bhearna sin a l\u00edonadh d\u00fainn agus tar \u00e9is d\u00fainn an aiste sin a l\u00e9amh, ba ch\u00f3ir go dtuigfimis t\u00e9arma\u00ed ar n\u00f3<\/span>s, <\/span>\u2018<\/span>home plate<\/span>\u2019<\/span>, <\/span>\u2018<\/span>pitcher\u2019s mound<\/span>\u2019<\/span>, <\/span>\u2018<\/span>a bunt<\/span>\u2019<\/span>, <\/span>\u2018<\/span>home run<\/span>\u2019<\/span>, <\/span>\u2018<\/span>bean ball<\/span>\u2019, agus tuilleadh m\u00f3<\/span>r eile lena gcois sin.<\/span><\/p>

Calico Joe<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Cuireann an t-\u00fadar a phr\u00ed<\/span>omhcharachtar, Joe Castle, laoch na coitiantachta<\/span>,<\/span> i mBasebal<\/span>l, sa bhliain 1973, in aithne d\u00fa<\/span>inn. B\u00ed<\/span> ag caint ar i<\/span>mreoir den scoth, b\u2019fhearr go m\u00f3<\/span>r<\/span> fada n\u00e1 sin \u00e9, Joe Castle, n\u00f3 Calico Joe, faoi mar a thugta\u00ed<\/span> air<\/span>,<\/span> ag an am, toisc gur<\/span>bh as Calico Rock d\u00f3<\/span>, baile beag gleoite in Arkansas . Ba bhea<\/span>g imreoir baseball riamh a d\u2019fh\u00e9adf\u00e1 a chur i gcom\u00f3rtas le Joe s\u2019againne, de r\u00e9ir an sc\u00e9<\/span>il seo.<\/span><\/p>

Tr\u00ed<\/span> P<\/span>haul Tracy a chuirtear bun\u00fas an sc\u00e9il in \u00e1r l\u00e1thair, agus ba \u00e9,<\/span> mac Warren Tracy<\/span> <\/span>an Paul sin<\/span>. I<\/span>mreoir<\/span> aitheanta<\/span> eile baseball<\/span> ba ea an Warren sin, ag an am. An bhliain sin bh\u00ed<\/span> Calico Joe ag buachan thall agus abhus, r<\/span>oimhe agus ina dhiaidh, agus bh\u00ed cos\u00falacht ar an sc\u00e9<\/span>al go mbuafadh a fhoireann, na \u2018Cubs\u2019 <\/span>chraobh na bliana sin. Imreoir \u00f3<\/span>rga ag foireann na \u2018Cubs\u2019 ba ea Joe. Anois<\/span>, tharla an bhliain ch\u00e9<\/span>anna sin<\/span>,<\/span> go raibh athair P<\/span>haul, s\u00e9<\/span> sin Warren T<\/span>racy ag imirt<\/span>,<\/span> mar theilgeoir, n\u00f3<\/span> \u2018Pitcher\u2019, leis na New York<\/span> \u2018Mets\u2019, agus faoi mar a tharla\u00edonn in \u00farsc\u00e9alta, tharla i ndeireadh na d\u00e1la, go raibh an bheirt ch\u00e9<\/span>anna seo ag imirt i gcoinne<\/span> a ch\u00e9<\/span>ile<\/span>, nuair a bh\u00ed Joe ina shlaca\u00ed agus Warren ina <\/span>theilgeoir. Ag pointe \u00e1<\/span>irithe<\/span>, tuigeadh do Warren go raibh s\u00e9<\/span> in am<\/span> aige ceacht a mh\u00faineadh don ngas\u00far \u00f3<\/span>g<\/span>, leithleach<\/span>,<\/span> seo<\/span>,<\/span> a rai<\/span>b<\/span>h a <\/span>ainm inairde i measc lucht lean\u00fana Base<\/span>ball<\/span>,<\/span> ar fu<\/span>d na tire, agus nuair a fuair s\u00e9 an deis chuige, chaith s\u00e9<\/span> an <\/span>\u2018Bean B<\/span>all<\/span>\u2019. Anois, s\u00e9ard t\u00e1<\/span> sa <\/span>\u2018<\/span>Bean Ball<\/span>\u2019 n\u00f3 liathr\u00f3<\/span>id B<\/span>aseball a chaithtear, agus luas lasrach faoi,<\/span> d\u2019aon ghn\u00f3, leis an slaca\u00ed<\/span> a bhu<\/span>aileadh san aghaidh, lena chur \u00f3<\/span> rath<\/span>,<\/span> sa chluiche sin. Caitheadh an <\/span>\u2018<\/span>Bean Ball<\/span>\u2019 agus leis an liathr\u00f3<\/span>id sin<\/span>, cuireadh cr\u00edoch obann le r\u00e9<\/span>im<\/span> ghl\u00f3rmhar<\/span> C<\/span>h<\/span>alico Joe mar imreoir, agus chomh maith le sin<\/span>, cuireadh cr\u00ed<\/span>och obann freisin<\/span>, le c\u00e1<\/span>il Warren Tracy<\/span>,<\/span> mar teilgeoir Baseball leis na Mets. <\/span><\/p>
