💕「愛台灣，我的選擇」系列第7發：投手麥克·羅力的棒球生涯⚾️
我在紐澤西長大，我太太在長島長大，我們是在維拉諾瓦大學念書的時候相遇，那時候我參加選秀加入了舊金山巨人隊，並開始到亞利桑那州的斯科茨代爾春訓。因為很喜歡當地環境，我們在那買了房子並有了兩個小孩，一個剛滿五歲的兒子和三歲的女兒，他們每年都會來台灣待三到四個月。我第一次來台灣是2012年的八月，當時我在長島打棒球，後來有幸獲得來台灣打中華職棒的機會。其實我本來計畫要在2012年的賽季結束後退休，很高興能來台灣效力於Lamigo桃猿隊，回頭看這個決定真是對極了！我和太太都很開心。棒球是相當國際化的運動，各地的比賽都差不多，但台灣的比賽氛圍就是不一樣，台灣球迷的熱情與活力跟美國明顯不同，不是說美國的球迷不熱情，但台灣球迷會在場邊唱歌歡呼，賣力應援炒熱氣氛，感覺很特別也很有趣。我在台灣只有好的經驗，我太太和小孩都很愛來台灣，這裡的文化很棒，台灣人非常友善且熱心助人。台灣是一個很安全的地方，我的家人來這裡時生活得很快樂，需要幫忙時也能獲得很多幫助。台灣帶給我們很多很美好的經驗，我們真的非常幸運能受到台灣人的熱情歡迎。
⚾️ 麥克·羅力目前為富邦悍將隊的投手，他最早於2012年加入中華職棒，2015年再度來台發展。他曾打過美國小聯盟、美國職棒獨立聯盟、墨西哥聯盟、中華職棒和韓國職棒。
💕Why I Chose Taiwan #7 💕
I grew up in New Jersey. My wife grew up on Long Island. We went to Villanova University, that’s where we met, and from there I was drafted by the San Francisco Giants and started going to Spring Training out in Scottsdale, Arizona and we both fell in love with it out there...ended up buying a house and we now have two kids. We have a boy who just turned five years old and our daughter is three. They come out every year to Taiwan for three or four months. I first arrived in Taiwan in August of 2012. I was playing baseball back in Long Island and I got an opportunity to come over here and play in the CPBL. I was excited about the opportunity. I was actually planning on retiring from baseball at the end of that season in 2012, but thankfully I got the opportunity to come out here and play for the Lamigo Monkeys. I’m very happy I made that decision. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with it. Baseball is pretty universal. The game itself is pretty much the same everywhere, but the atmosphere here is honestly different. The excitement the fans here bring to the stadium and the noise and the passion is clearly different than back in the United States. Not that there isn’t passion the in the U.S., but the fans here, they sing and cheer. They are so involved in the game, and that’s pretty unique and fun to be a part of. But the baseball itself is universal. My experience in Taiwan is nothing but positive. My wife and my kids really love coming out here. The culture is great and the people here are extremely friendly and helpful. It’s such a safe place to be that when my family does come out here, they can live their lives happily and get help when they need it. It makes for a great experience for us, and we have certainly been very fortunate to be welcomed here by the people in Taiwan.
