[外電] Chase球場的紅座椅
Why does Chase Field have one red seat? It's all because of this stubborn oldman's incredible legacy

有去過Chase Field的人會知道Chase Field的觀眾席座位是綠色的,但是在左中外野
的145區有一張座位是紅色的. 這張座位可是有典故的
Diamondbacks的CEO Derrick Hall表示,這一切追朔到2007年. 當時球隊正準備把球隊代表色青紫色改成亞利桑那州的代表紅岩色(Sedona Red),在球季前的季票所有人的座談會上,每當Hall提到Sedona Red的時候,台下就會有名老者(Bob Elmer)雙手舉起發出不屑的表情. 後來Hall直接問他說
"Bob,你有什麼意見嗎"
Bob回答"紅色就是紅色(Red is Red),不要拐彎抹角說紅岩色"
Hall説"你不喜歡這個紅色,你不會穿這個紅色的球衣嗎"
Bob:"至少你現在不提紅岩色了. 沒錯,我不會穿紅色球衣"
Hall:"那我跟你打賭,如果我們今年拿分區冠軍的話,你要穿一件我送你的紅色球衣"
結果2007年Diamondbacks真的拿下分區冠軍,Bob也願賭服輸的從此穿紅色球衣看球. 幾年後Hall接到一通Bob從醫院打來的電話,原來Bob因為癌症住院狀況不是很好,Bob跟Hall説他夢到他神遊到Chase Field上空,他從打開的屋頂上看下去,他看到在一片綠油油的座位中,他的座位145區12號是一張紅色的椅子,上面有個牌子寫著"Bob Elmer, Red is Red"
Bob請求Hall説當他過世後Hall能幫他完成這個心願. Hall答應了,Bob也在隔天早上過世.
從此以後,Chase Field 145區12號座位變成球場唯一的紅色座椅,也是很多觀眾朝聖的景點之一.
