Instant replay used for first time
即時重播系統第一次使用
Umpires take second look at A-Rod's homer in ninth inning
裁判在第九局再次檢視A-Rod的全壘打
History was made at Tropicana Field on Wednesday night,
when instant replay was used for the first time in Major League history. The
play in question was a home run hit by Alex Rodriguez in the ninth inning of
the Rays-Yankees contest.
週三晚上在純品康納球場，大聯盟史無前例的第一次使用即時重播系統寫下了歷史，
遭到質疑的是一支A-Rod在洋基光芒對戰中第九局所轟出的全壘打。
Rodriguez hit a 2-2 pitch from Rays closer Troy Percival toward the foul pole
in left field for what appeared to be a two-run homer. Rays manager Joe
Maddon thought otherwise, and he went onto the field to meet with the
umpires. After some discussion, the umpires left the field to review the
monitor in the third-base dugout.
Rodriguez在球數兩好兩壞時從光芒的終結者Troy Percival打出一支朝向左外野界外標竿
的兩分砲，光芒的教頭Joe Maddon不這麼認為並走向裁判提出質疑，在些許討論過後，裁
判們離開了球場到三壘邊的休息室檢視重播畫面。
Approximately two minutes and 15 seconds later, a ruling was made by the
umpiring crew headed by Charlie Reliford that the call would stand and
Rodriguez had his 549th career home run.
大約兩分十五秒過後，以Charlie Reliford為首的裁判團做出了判決，斷定先前全壘打的
界定是正確的，並保住Rodriguez生涯第549發全壘打。
All televised MLB games are monitored and staffed by an expert technician and
either an umpire supervisor or a former umpire at Major League Baseball
Advanced Media headquarters in New York. A television monitor and a secure
telephone link to MLBAM, placed next to the monitor, have been installed at
all 30 ballparks.
所有電視轉撥的大聯盟比賽都有被紐約大聯盟進階媒體總部的一位專業技術人員及一位裁
判主管或者前任裁判所檢視，所有球場都有一個螢幕和保密電話連線至該總部。
If the crew chief determines that instant replay review is necessary on a
particular disputed home run, he calls the MLB Advanced Media technician, who
then transmits the most appropriate video footage to the crew chief and the
umpire crew on site. The umpire supervisor or former umpire does not have
direct communication with any of the umpires on site, and the decision to
reverse a call is at the sole discretion of the crew chief. The standard used
by the crew chief when reviewing a play is whether there is clear and
convincing evidence that the umpire's decision on the field was incorrect and
should be reversed. The use of replay is limited only to home runs: in or
out, fair or foul and fan interference.
當在場工作人員的總監覺得即時重播系統是必要時，他會致電媒體總部的技師，技師回傳
最合宜的畫面給總監及裁判團，在總部的裁判主管或前任裁判並不會直接與在球場的任何
裁判溝通，判決的決定權是在球場總監手中，而總監觀看重播的標準是看是否有清楚且決
定性的證據來推翻裁判錯誤的判決，重播系統只可用於全壘打的出去與否、界內界外、和
觀眾的干預。
