Baseball has inspired many people since it began. A lot of books and movies have been made about baseball players and teams. Some of them are about certain athletes and the struggles they overcame to make their baseball dreams come true. Others are about teams that were down on their luck but fought their way to become champions. In all of them, the motto is never give up, even when things seem impossible. The Boston Red Sox know a lot about having this kind of attitude. They were one of the most successful teams in MLB until they sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in 1920. Afterwards, the team had to wait 86 years before becoming world champions again. Whether you are watching or playing, baseball is sure to make time fly.
棒球自發源以來就鼓舞了眾人。許多書籍和電影都是關於棒球球員與球隊的故事。當中有的是描述某些球員及他們排除萬難實現棒球夢的奮鬥史。有的則是關於運氣 欠佳、但最後卻奮力奪下冠軍的球隊。在所有書籍和電影中，故事訓言都是永不放棄，即便一切看似不可能發生。波士頓紅襪隊對這樣的態度有著深刻的領悟。直到 他們於1920年把貝比‧魯斯賣給紐約洋基隊之前，他們都是大聯盟戰績最佳的球隊之一。不過在此之後，紅襪隊卻得等上八十六年才能再次成為世界冠軍。不論 是看棒球或打棒球，這項運動絕對都是讓您時光飛逝的好消遣。
