英语词汇good field no hit的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

good field, no hit. This baseball catchphrase is sometimes applied jokingly to other things, to anyone who does one thing better than another, who is good in one field and not another. The expression dates back to 1924 when coach Miguel “Mike” Gonzales scouted Dodger player Moe Berg for the St. Louis Cardinals. Observing Berg at Brooklyn’s Clear- water, Florida training camp that spring, Gonzales wired his boss the four-word evaluation: “Good field, no hit.” The Car- dinals didn’t offer a contract, but the scholarly Berg, who spoke seven languages, including Chinese and Japanese, be- came an American spy during World War II, spying on Ger- man atomic scientists.
