💕「愛台灣，我的選擇」系列第8發：投手萊福力的棒球心聲⚾️
我來自北加州一個叫蘇珊維爾的小鎮，小鎮人口大約兩萬人。大學期間，我獲得美式足球獎學金，進入薩克拉門托州立大學就讀，當時我打棒球也打美式足球，並得到傳播與商業行銷學位。今年是我打職業棒球的第14年。我在美國打了9年棒球，我先是受科羅拉多洛磯隊招募，後來在舊金山巨人隊打了7年，最後2年我為華盛頓國民隊效力。我也曾經在墨西哥、委內瑞拉和日本打球。3年前，我有一個機會，可以選擇留在墨西哥或來台灣打球。我深深地被台灣文化吸引，這個地方很棒，對家庭非常友善，這點對我、妻子和我們剛出生的孩子尤其重要！台灣隨處可見哺乳室、親子廁所、及室內兒童遊樂設施，所有一切都很適合家庭，這是台灣吸引我們的很大原因。另外，在台灣打棒球真的很棒，尤其是球迷的加油聲，這是我在世界其他地方從來沒有體驗過的！我曾在７個國家打過棒球，在來台灣之前，我從沒有這種經驗，球迷會不斷的為我加油和跳舞，即使我當天表現得不好，球迷仍幫我加油，就算某局我打得爛透了，他們也會大喊:「下次會更好！」台灣的棒球因為球迷而獨一無二，身為一個美國人，可以在台灣打球是我莫大的榮幸。💕
⚾️萊福力為美國棒球投手， 2018年起來台發展，目前效力於中信兄弟隊。
💕Why I Chose Taiwan # 8 💕 - Mitchell Lively's baseball path
“I’m from a small town in Northern California called Susanville. I think the population may be 20,000. I went on a football scholarship to Sacramento State University, and I played football and baseball while I got my degree in communications and business marketing. This is my fourteenth year playing baseball professionally. I played nine years in the United States: got drafted by the Colorado Rockies, then I spent seven years with the San Francisco Giants, then two years with the Washington Nationals. I’ve also played in Mexico, Venezuela, and Japan. I got a choice about three years ago to stay in Mexico or to come here to Taiwan. I was really intrigued with the culture here. This place is amazing. It’s very family-friendly, especially having my wife here with a new-born baby. There’s breast-feeding rooms, family bathrooms, indoor play places. I mean, everything about this place is family-friendly and that’s one thing that really drew us to coming here. Plus, the baseball here is unbelievable -- the fan support, the cheering -- it’s something that I’ve never experienced anywhere. I’ve played in seven countries, and I have never seen anything like it. They have the non-stop cheering and dancing. Even if you’re doing bad out there, they are still cheering for you and supporting you. If I have a bad inning, fans are shouting, “There’s always next time!” The fans here make the baseball so amazing. Being an American player here is a huge honor.”
