以前 "second-string" の話を書きましたが、米国の大統領候補のObama氏は大学でバスケットボールの二軍選手だったとの事。(RD 6月号の "Raising Obama"より抜粋)
By diligent effort, constant practise and a mean jump shot, he made the second-string of the state-champion basketball team in his final year - a slot that might have gone to a younger, more promising player.
記事の雰囲気からすると "the state-champion basketball team" ともなると二軍選手でも中々なれないようだ。
