CTE stands for chronic traumatic encephalopathy. It`s a brain disease known to affect athletes and anyone else who`s had repeated hits to the head. CTE can affect someone`s memory, mood or behavior. It can cause depression, and CTE gets worse over time. This disease is only diagnosed after someone dies.CTE是慢性创伤性脑病的简称，这是一种对运动员或者任何一个有多次脑部撞击者的脑部疾病。它可以影响一个人的记忆，情绪或者行为。它会导致抑郁，也会随着时间变化病情加重。更主要的是，这种疾病只有死亡后才可诊断出来。A quote at baseball says Ryan Freel made it fun to watch if you care about baseball, but hard to watch if you care about him. The outfielder and baseman repeatedly risked his body for the game. A year after his suicide, his family released information that shows he`s the first Major Leaguer diagnosed with CTE. It`s hoped that can help doctors better understand brain injuries.棒球论坛上说Ryan Freel很容易让你产生看棒球的兴趣，但是很难看懂他自己。这位集外场和守垒于一身的棒球运动员为这项运动奉献了自己的身体。在他自杀之后，他的家人发布信息称他是美国职业棒球联盟中第一位确诊患CTE疾病的选手，并表示希望能帮助医生更好研究这种脑部疾病。Ryan Freel played baseball without fear.

After Freel took his own life last year, his family gave permission for a team of researchers at Boston University to examine his brain for signs of CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the form of brain damage found in football players like Mike Webster, Dave Duerson, Junior Seau and dozens of others.Ryan Free没有丝毫表示出对棒球运动的畏惧。在他8年棒球运动中大约曾患过10次脑震荡，家人表示称真实数字要比这个还高。在Freel去世后，他的家人授予了波士顿大学研究院对他的大脑做CTE检测。同样，脑部受过如此损坏的还有足球运动员Mike Webster，Dave Duerson， Junior Seau等等。On Sunday, Freel`s family announced that Ryan did suffer from CTE, making him the first Major League baseball player to receive that diagnosis, and possibly explaining the years of depression and erratic behavior leading up to this death.周日，Freel家人证实宣布他确实患有CTE，并成为了首个职业棒球联盟里患此病的球员。或许可以解释了这几年的抑郁和不稳定行为出现的原因，最终导致了死亡。Important cases like Ryan Freel make a differenc
