Commemorative Coin to Honor Pioneers of Baseball Integration

紀念幣紀念棒球一體化先驅

Washington, D.C. - In a poignant recognition of the profound impact of baseball integration, a bipartisan group of lawmakers has introduced legislation to mint commemorative coins honoring the groundbreaking achievements of Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby. The Integration of Baseball Commemorative Coin Act, sponsored by Representatives Cedric Richmond (D-LA), Roger Williams (R-TX), and Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), aims to immortalize the legacy of these trailblazing athletes and their pivotal role in dismantling racial barriers.

華盛頓特區 - 為了深刻認識到棒球一體化的深遠影響，兩黨立法者小組提出了鑄造紀念幣的立法，以紀念傑基·羅賓遜和拉里·多比的開創性成就。棒球紀念幣一體化法案由眾議員塞德里克·里士滿（D-LA）、羅傑·威廉斯（R-TX）和參議員蒂姆·斯科特（R-SC）發起，旨在永垂不朽這些開拓性運動員的遺產及其關鍵作用消除種族障礙。

The announcement of the bill was made on Capitol Hill, where the sponsors were joined by Hall of Famer Andre Dawson, an avid coin collector and ardent admirer of Robinson and Doby. "I learned so much from these men about the unwavering determination and resilience required to excel at the highest level while navigating the adversity they faced," Dawson said.

該法案是在國會山莊宣布的，名人堂成員安德烈·道森 (Andre Dawson) 也加入了贊助商行列，他是一位狂熱的錢幣收藏家，也是羅賓遜和多比的熱心崇拜者。道森說：“我從這些人身上學到了很多關於在克服逆境時取得最高水平所需的堅定不移的決心和韌性。”

The integration of baseball in 1947 shattered long-held prejudices and marked a watershed moment in the civil rights movement. Robinson, who broke the color line in the National League, and Doby, who followed suit in the American League, endured immense hostility and discrimination but remained steadfast in their pursuit of equality.

1947 年棒球運動的融合打破了長期以來的偏見，標誌著民權運動的分水嶺。在國家聯盟打破膚色界線的羅賓遜和在美國聯盟打破膚色界線的多比，忍受著巨大的敵意和歧視，但仍然堅定地追求平等。

Senator Scott emphasized the profound significance of Robinson and Doby's contributions. "Without their courage and sacrifice, individuals like myself and Representative Richmond would not be here today," he stated. "We owe our presence on this stage to the shoulders of these giants who confronted unimaginable challenges and paved the way for future generations."

史考特參議員強調了羅賓遜和多比貢獻的深遠意義。他說：“如果沒有他們的勇氣和犧牲，像我和里士滿眾議員這樣的人今天就不會在這裡。” “我們能站在這個舞台上，歸功於這些巨人的肩膀，他們面臨著難以想像的挑戰，為子孫後代鋪平了道路。”

The commemorative coins, which will be available in $5, $1, and 50-cent denominations, will be released in 2022, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of baseball integration. The design of the coins remains undisclosed, but Roll Call has reported that they will feature the shape of a baseball diamond.

紀念幣有 5 美元、1 美元和 50 美分三種面值，將於 2022 年發行，恰逢棒球一體化 75 週年。這些硬幣的設計尚未公開，但據點名報道，它們將具有棒球場的形狀。

The lawmakers expressed their unwavering support for the bill and its potential to inspire future generations. Representative Richmond, who played baseball at Morehouse College, shared his admiration for Dawson, highlighting his exceptional talent and the impact of the legends being honored. "I'm standing next to Andre Dawson," he exclaimed, "and I now understand why I never made it to the big leagues."

立法者表達了對該法案的堅定支持及其激勵子孫後代的潛力。在莫爾豪斯學院打棒球的眾議員里士滿分享了他對道森的欽佩，強調了他非凡的天賦和傳奇人物受到表彰的影響。 “我站在安德烈·道森旁邊，”他驚呼道，“我現在明白為什麼我從未進入大聯盟。”

The Integration of Baseball Commemorative Coin Act is a testament to the unwavering legacy of Robinson and Doby and their enduring impact on American society. By immortalizing their achievements on a commemorative coin, the lawmakers aim to ensure that their stories continue to be told and that their contributions to the fight for equality are never forgotten.

《棒球紀念幣一體化法案》證明了羅賓遜和多比堅定不移的遺產及其對美國社會的持久影響。透過在紀念幣上紀念他們的成就，立法者的目的是確保他們的故事繼續被講述，並確保他們為爭取平等而做出的貢獻永遠不會被忘記。
