Exclusive: Dodger Fan Who Caught Shohei Ohtani Home Run Says She Was Pressured t
o Give Up Ball

“Security came up and hand-signaled me to go to them. At first I’m thinking I
did something wrong,” Roman said. “They said ‘no, we want to reward you for c
atching the ball.’ … They took us down to right next to the bullpen, the gate,
 to go in there. That’s where they had us. At that point they didn’t allow my
husband or the friend that we were with to go with me. They said they had to sta
y back.”



It’s standard procedure for Dodger Stadium security to ask any fan who catches
a significant home run ball what they would want in exchange for the ball.

道奇球場保全的標準流程是去問接到特殊意義球的球迷想交換什麼

Roman said she asked the security guard at the scene if he could have Ohtani aut
ograph the ball so she could keep it.

Roman說他想大谷簽這個球然後保留這球

“And they were like no, if you’re going to keep it, he’s not willing to sign
for it and we won’t authenticate it for you,” Roman said.

他們說不行，你要留著，大谷就不會簽，而且我們不會認證

Typically Major League Baseball – not the home team – employs at least two aut
henticators on-site at every game for the purpose of authenticating game balls.

一般是每場球會有至少兩名MLB員工在球場進行認證，不是主場球隊。

“That’s when I asked, ‘what is he willing to trade me for it?’ At first what
 they offered was two signed baseball caps,” Roman said. “I asked, ‘what else
 can I get?’ That’s when they threw in a bat and another ball.”

我問說那他想跟我換什麼。一開始他們出兩頂簽名帽。我問說還有嗎？他們才又加上球棒跟
另一顆球

Roman asked if she could meet Ohtani. She was told that wasn’t possible, and th
e two never met.

他問說是不是能跟大谷碰面，保全說不可能，所以沒碰面

Ohtani was later quoted in the English-language media as saying he met with Roma
n after the game. However, Japanese reporters on-site said Ohtani never specifie
d whether he spoke to the fan personally or whether the team spoke to the fan.

英文媒體稍後引述大谷的話說他比賽後有跟Roman碰面，但在場的日本記者說大谷沒特別說
是他本人跟球迷碰面還是球團

Since less historic Ohtani memorabilia routinely auctions for four figures, some
 experts have speculated the ball Roman caught would have been worth six figures
. Roman said she doesn’t regret the terms of her exchange.

因為大谷其他比較沒記念性的東西都拍賣到四位數，有些專家認為Roman接到的球能賣到六
位數，但他不後悔換到這些東西

“As far as regrets, I honestly don’t regret it,” she said. “Just the experie
nce of it all, as a lifetime Dodger fan, that meant so much. I’m really gratefu
l with what I got. … It makes you think damn, did I really miss out on those hu
ndred thousand dollars but what’s done is done.

至於後悔的話，我老實說不會。身為終身道奇迷，這個經驗就很有意義。我感激我所得到的
。它會讓你想說，靠，我錯過幾十萬元，但事情都過去了

“As a Dodger fan, I expected maybe a little bit more warmth, I should say, from
 them,” Roman said. “But it was just really sad I needed to make a decision ri
ght then and there.”

身為道奇迷，我期望能從球團得到多點溫暖。但真的讓人難過我必須在當下就馬上做決定

球迷說不後悔 但道奇這對待球迷的態度真的不行 還不能跟大谷見面
