為什麼 MLB 球隊──以及球員──希望球場持續變得更加喧鬧

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The organ serenaded fans as they filed into a humid
Louisville Slugger Field on July 8, a seemingly typical home game for the
Louisville Bats, the Cincinnati Reds' Triple-A affiliate. But two words
displayed on a pair of screens overlooking the outfield promised something
very different: Nothing Night.

肯塔基州路易斯維爾（LOUISVILLE, Ky.）──7 月 8 日，球迷陸續走進潮濕悶熱的
Louisville Slugger Field，風琴聲為他們奏起樂曲。這原本看似只是路易斯維爾蝙蝠隊
──辛辛那提紅人隊的 3A 附屬球隊──一場再普通不過的主場比賽。
但球場外野上方的兩個螢幕卻顯示了兩個字，預告這將是截然不同的一晚：「Nothing
Night」。


Nothing, as in nothing but the traditional sounds of a ballpark: an organ, a
public address announcer, the players, the fans, the crack of the bat, the
pop of the mitt. No stadium DJ, no walk-up songs, no between-pitch sound
effects, no between-inning shenanigans, no in-game advertisements, no flashy
LED light shows. The scoreboard was there to show the score, the ball-strike
count ... and not much else.

這裡的「Nothing」，意思是除了球場傳統聲音之外，什麼都沒有：風琴、現場廣播員
（public address announcer）、球員、球迷、球棒擊球的清脆聲，以及手套接球時的啪
聲。
沒有球場 DJ、沒有打者登場音樂、沒有每一球之間的音效、沒有局間花招、沒有比賽中
的廣告，也沒有華麗的 LED 燈光秀。記分板的功能，就是顯示比分、壞球與好球數……
除此之外，幾乎什麼都沒有。


It was a purposeful, if gimmicky, zag from professional baseball in 2026, a
product increasingly inundated by persistent, blaring noise.

這是一次刻意為之、儘管帶有些許噱頭的反向操作，與 2026 年的職業棒球形成鮮明對比
──如今的職業棒球比賽，越來越被持續不斷、震耳欲聾的聲音所淹沒。


"Today's game is all about noise, entertainment, constant action coming at
you," said Vincent Zielen, the Bats' director of marketing. "How can we keep
people engaged, especially at a baseball game? It's Savannah Bananas on
steroids."

「今天的比賽講究的就是噪音、娛樂，以及不斷有各種動態刺激迎面而來，」蝙蝠隊行銷
總監（director of marketing） Vincent Zielen 說。「我們要怎麼讓人們持續投入其中
，尤其是在一場棒球比賽裡？這就像是吃了類固醇的 Savannah Bananas。」

The move toward an arena-like game presentation is not limited to the
flourishing barnstorming "Banana Ball" outfit or Major League Baseball's
minor league affiliates. It extends to the highest level, where the
soundscape has become louder and more constant as teams across MLB, with the
blessing of their players, seek to attract fans and maintain their focus once
inside the ballpark.

這種朝向「體育館式」比賽呈現方式的趨勢，並不只限於蓬勃發展、巡迴各地表演的「香
蕉棒球隊」團隊，也不只是 MLB 的小聯盟附屬球隊。
它已經延伸到最高層級的 MLB。如今，球場裡的聲音環境變得更加喧鬧，也更加持續；全
大聯盟各隊在獲得球員支持的情況下，都希望藉此吸引球迷，並讓球迷進入球場後持續保
持注意力。


"It feels bigger," said Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino,
who played on Nothing Night while on rehab assignment with the Omaha Storm
Chasers but was left unimpressed by the experiment. "They feel like bigger
moments when the crowd starts going crazy when there's two strikes or late in
the game and it's loud. Both the pitcher and hitter are feeling it. You can't
deny it. When it's louder, it definitely locks you in a little bit."

「感覺比賽規模更大了，」堪薩斯市皇家隊一壘手 Vinnie Pasquantino 說。
當時他正在 Omaha Storm Chasers（奧馬哈風暴追逐者隊）進行復健賽程，因此參加了
Nothing Night，但對這項實驗並沒有留下太深刻的印象。
「當比賽進入兩好球，或者到了比賽後段，現場變得非常喧鬧、觀眾開始瘋狂起來時，那
些時刻會讓人感覺更加重大。投手和打者都能感受到那股氣氛。你無法否認這一點。當現
場更吵的時候，它確實會讓你更加專注一些。」


Among the most prominent examples is Yankee Stadium, where a striking shift
has occurred in recent years. The organ has not been completely abandoned,
but recorded music now blares even before pregame batting practice begins and
continues, along with lighting and sound effects, throughout the game,
seeming to pause only to allow pitches to be thrown.

其中最顯著的例子之一就是洋基球場，近年來那裡發生了非常明顯的轉變。
球場並沒有完全放棄風琴，但如今，在賽前打擊練習甚至開始之前，錄製音樂就已經大聲
播放；比賽期間，音樂也會與燈光及音效一路持續，似乎只有在投手要投球時才會暫停。


New York Yankees spokesperson Jason Zillo said that the team added speakers
near the dugouts in 2022 and behind home plate in 2023 and that the angles of
other speakers were changed, though he said the volume of each wasn't cranked
up. The team then tweaked its in-game presentation during the 2024 season to
add more music, including an in-house DJ spinning tunes during every game.

紐約洋基隊發言人 Jason Zillo 表示，球隊在 2022 年於休息區附近增設了喇叭，2023
年又在本壘後方增加喇叭，同時調整了其他喇叭的角度；不過，他表示每個喇叭本身的音
量並沒有被調高。
之後，球隊在 2024 年球季進一步調整比賽期間的呈現方式，加入更多音樂，包括每場比
賽都由球隊內部的 DJ 現場播放音樂。


The decisions were made after team officials visited other stadiums for
inspiration and with input from players -- led by former first baseman
Anthony Rizzo, slugger Giancarlo Stanton and captain Aaron Judge. Judge told
the New York Daily News earlier this season that he'd been requesting a more
booming atmosphere since he arrived in the Bronx because it motivates players
and creates a more intimidating environment for opponents.

這些決策是在球隊官員走訪其他球場尋找靈感之後做出的，同時也參考了球員們的意見，
其中由前一壘手 Anthony Rizzo、重砲打者 Giancarlo Stanton，以及隊長 Aaron
Judge 帶頭。
Judge 本季稍早接受《New York Daily News》訪問時表示，自從他來到布朗克斯之後，就
一直要求球場營造更加震撼、更加喧鬧的氣氛，因為這能激勵球員，也能為對手製造更具
威嚇性的環境。


"For the past several years we have undergone a reimagining of our in-game
entertainment programming to create an atmosphere with more tempo and pace,
including chant prompts, sound effects, deejays and music drops," Zillo said
in a statement. "Between pitches, between innings -- we are looking to fill
idle time with lively and diverse engagement. We want Yankee Stadium to be
loud and boisterous and exciting -- and so do our players."

Zillo 在一份聲明中表示：「過去幾年來，我們一直重新構想比賽期間的娛樂內容，希望
打造一個節奏更快、更有活力的氣氛，包括帶動觀眾喊聲的提示、音效、DJ，以及音樂突
然播放的橋段。」
「在每一球之間、每個半局之間——我們希望用活潑且多元的互動來填補比賽中的空檔時
間。我們希望 Yankee Stadium 充滿聲音、熱鬧、令人興奮——我們的球員也是這麼希望
的。」


Zillo said the Yankees' baseball operations department calculated that 17.2%
of pitches in their games last season resulted in a ball in play -- down from
19.7% in 2009, the franchise's last championship campaign. As a result, Zillo
said, the team is combating fans' cellphones for their attention on nearly
83% of pitches. He compared the phones' attention-smothering quality to the
One Ring in "The Lord of the Rings."

Zillo 表示，洋基隊的棒球營運部門計算後發現，球隊上季的比賽中，只有 17.2% 的投球
最終形成場內擊球（ball in play）；這個比例低於 2009 年的 19.7%，而 2009 年正是
球隊上一次奪得冠軍的球季。
因此，Zillo 說，球隊其實是在與球迷的手機爭奪注意力，因為將近 83% 的投球都沒有
形成場內擊球。
他甚至把手機吞噬注意力的特性，比作《魔戒》（The Lord of the Rings）中的至尊魔戒
（One Ring）。


"We've got to fight against 'my precious,'" Zillo said.

「我們必須對抗那個『我的寶貝（my precious）』，」Zillo 說。


For some players, the effort is still not enough.

但對某些球員而言，這樣的努力仍然不夠。


"I want it louder," Yankees utility player Amed Rosario said in Spanish. "We
can barely hear the music. Dodger Stadium, now that's loud."

「我希望再大聲一點，」洋基隊工具人（utility player） Amed Rosario 用西班牙語說
道。
「我們幾乎都聽不見音樂。Dodger Stadium，那才叫吵。」


Dodger Stadium has become famous (infamous?) for its earsplitting sound
system, which, coupled with a capacity crowd of more than 55,000, creates a
rowdy atmosphere for the two-time defending World Series champions. Fox and
Dodgers play-by-play broadcaster Joe Davis said his directors "hate" the
light shows that have become customary across the majors because it's
difficult to see the players. But nothing compares to the volume in Chavez
Ravine.

Dodger Stadium 已經因為其震耳欲聾的音響系統而聞名（或者說臭名遠播？）。再加上
超過 55,000 人的滿場觀眾，讓這座球場成為這支連續兩屆衛冕世界大賽冠軍球隊最喧鬧
的主場之一。
Fox 以及 Dodgers 球賽實況播報員（play-by-play broadcaster） Joe Davis 表示，他
的導播們「討厭」如今已成為大聯盟各球場慣例的燈光秀，因為那會讓人很難看清楚球員
。
但即使如此，還是沒有任何地方能比得上 Chavez Ravine（查維茲峽谷）的音量。


"I think part of the thing at Dodger Stadium is where they're located," Davis
said. "Dead center bank of speakers directed right at you. The directional
aspect of those speakers and its location probably amplified how loud it is
there."

「我認為 Dodger Stadium 的部分關鍵，在於那些喇叭的位置，」Davis 說。
「正中央那一整排喇叭，就直接朝著你。那些喇叭的指向性，以及它們所在的位置，很可
能放大了那裡的音量。」


Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherzer, at 42 years old, is the
second-oldest active player in the majors. Including the Dodgers, the future
Hall of Famer has played for seven franchises from coast to coast -- and
across the border -- over a 19-year career that spans back to 2008, when the
organ still reigned and light shows remained exclusive to late-night
establishments. Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young Award winner known for his
intense demeanor on the mound, welcomes the amplification of the senses.

42 歲的多倫多藍鳥隊右投手 Max Scherzer，是目前大聯盟第二年長的現役球員。
包括 Dodgers 在內，這位未來的名人堂球員在 19 年職業生涯中，已經效力過 7 支球隊
，足跡從美國東岸到西岸──甚至跨越國境。
他的職業生涯可以追溯到 2008 年，那個年代球場仍以風琴聲為主，而燈光秀還只是深夜
娛樂場所的專利。
Scherzer 曾三度贏得賽揚獎，以投手丘上強烈而充滿侵略性的神情聞名；而對於如今這種
更加放大感官刺激的比賽環境，他相當樂見其成。


"I love it. I love it. Make it louder," Scherzer said. "I love pitching in
that type of environment. To me, it adds to the atmosphere of the game. Makes
the fans engaged. Fans are loud. I want to be in that type of environment."

「我喜歡。我非常喜歡。讓它再大聲一點，」Scherzer 說。
「我喜歡在那種環境下投球。對我來說，這讓比賽的氣氛更加強烈，也讓球迷更加投入。
球迷就是要大聲。我想要的就是那種環境。」


In Queens, the New York Mets unveiled a 17,400-square-foot jumbotron at Citi
Field in 2023. Mets games now feature live DJs, an in-game emcee, dancers and
a segment called "Mid-6th Mayhem" where an elaborate light show and
electronic music briefly turn the ballpark into a festive nightclub no matter
the score.

在皇后區（Queens），紐約大都會隊於 2023 年在 Citi Field 啟用了面積達 17,400 平
方英尺的超大型電子看板（jumbotron）。
如今，大都會隊的比賽會安排現場 DJ、比賽主持人（in-game emcee）、舞者，以及一個
名為「Mid-6th Mayhem」 的環節；在這個環節中，精心設計的燈光秀搭配電子音樂，短暫
地將球場變成一間充滿節慶氣氛的夜店，而不管當時的比分如何。


Mets pitcher Sean Manaea, an 11-year veteran with four teams, said he
recently came across a Reddit thread of fans complaining about stadium noise.
He sympathized.

大都會隊投手 Sean Manaea 是一名效力過 4 支球隊、擁有 11 年大聯盟資歷的老將。他
表示，自己最近看到 Reddit 上有一則球迷抱怨球場噪音的討論串。
他對這些球迷的感受表示理解。


"I am indifferent towards it," Manaea said. "I think it's a way to motivate
the crowd, you know? It's cool, but sometimes it can be a little too much.
Like when it's just every pitch, every AB with different kind of music or a
clap chant thing going on. I'm going to lean more towards turn it down."

「我對這件事沒有特別的感覺，」Manaea 說。「我想這是一種激勵觀眾的方法，你知道
嗎？這很酷，但有時候可能會有點太過頭了。
「比如說，每一球、每一個打席都搭配不同種類的音樂，或者一直有拍手、帶動喊聲之類
的活動。我會比較傾向於──把音量調小一點。」


Other ballparks have increased their efforts to create arena-like atmospheres
in their quests to engage spectators. The Atlanta Braves hold an immersive
show when opposing relief pitchers are summoned, using strobe lights and
encouraging fans to turn on their cellphone flashlights while taking part in
the chop chant to music.

其他球場也加大力度，試圖營造類似體育館的氣氛，以吸引觀眾投入其中。
當對手啟用後援投手時，亞特蘭大勇士隊會舉辦一場沉浸式表演，利用頻閃燈光，並鼓勵
球迷打開手機的手電筒功能，同時配合音樂參與「Tomahawk Chop」應援。
戰歌


In Arizona, the sound system at Chase Field is noticeably louder this season,
Davis noted. Same goes with the system inside the recently restored Tropicana
Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays, which Mets TV color analyst and former
pitcher Ron Darling highlighted on a recent broadcast.

Davis 注意到，在亞利桑那州，Chase Field 本季的音響系統明顯變得更加大聲。
最近完成修復、作為坦帕灣光芒隊主場的 Tropicana Field，裡面的音響系統也是如此。
大都會隊電視轉播的色彩評論員（color analyst）、前投手 Ron Darling 最近在一次
轉播中，特別提到了這一點。


"The sound is so loud there, louder than Dodger Stadium," Darling warned
broadcast partners Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez, with the Mets scheduled to
play at Tropicana Field in early September. "They play a tune or part of a
tune between every pitch. So, get ready."

「那裡的聲音真的非常大，比 Dodger Stadium 還要大聲，」當時大都會隊預計在 9 月
初前往 Tropicana Field 比賽，Darling 提醒他的轉播搭檔 Gary Cohen 與 Keith
Hernandez。
「他們每一球之間都會播放一段完整或部分的音樂。所以，做好心理準備吧。」


Not all ballparks are playing along to that extreme. Wrigley Field and Fenway
Park, the two oldest major league stadiums, remain loyal to the sights and
sounds synonymous with baseball games, though both ballparks recently
installed LED lighting that allows for those dynamic in-game light shows.

並非所有球場都把這種做法推向如此極端。
Wrigley Field 與 Fenway Park 是大聯盟歷史最悠久的兩座球場，至今仍忠於那些與棒
球比賽密不可分的傳統視覺與聲音元素。
不過，這兩座球場最近都安裝了 LED 燈光系統，因此也能夠進行這類充滿動態效果的比
賽期間燈光秀。


"I don't care, but I do notice it," Pittsburgh Pirates starter Paul Skenes
said. "The only difference it makes is I have to put my glove up to my hat to
make sure I hear the PitchCom. I think if anybody tells you that they don't
hear it, they're lying. Like, 'I'm so in the zone, I don't hear anything.'
You're full of s---."

「我不在乎，但我的確會注意到，」先發投手 Paul Skenes 說。
「它唯一造成的差別，就是我必須把手套舉到帽子旁邊，確保自己能聽見 PitchCom。
「我認為，如果有人告訴你，他完全聽不到那些聲音，那他就是在說謊。比如說，『我太
專注在比賽狀態裡了，什麼都聽不到。』拜託，那根本是在胡扯。」


This is the fourth year the Bats have held a Nothing Night. They originally
had just one scheduled this season, on May 12, but the reaction on social
media this time was so overwhelming that the team decided to add another one.

今年已經是 Bats 舉辦 Nothing Night 的第四年。
球隊原本只安排本季的一場 Nothing Night，日期是 5 月 12 日，但這一次活動在社群
媒體上引發的反應非常熱烈，因此球隊決定再增加一場。


Left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson, an eight-year major league veteran, was
on rehab assignment with the Bats for that May game.

擁有 8 年大聯盟資歷的左投後援 Caleb Ferguson，當時正在 Bats 進行復健賽程，並參
加了那場 5 月的比賽。


"It was just kinda weird," said 30-year-old Ferguson, whom the Reds traded to
the St. Louis Cardinals earlier this month. "You heard everything. If your
dugout's chirping the umpire, you could hear that. It's literally silent. I
didn't like it."

「就是覺得有點奇怪，」30 歲的 Ferguson 說。
本月稍早，紅人隊將他交易至聖路易紅雀隊。
「你什麼都聽得到。如果你們休息區正在對裁判碎念，你都聽得見。現場真的安靜到一點
聲音都沒有。我不喜歡那樣。」


Bats manager Pat Kelly spent most of his 14-year playing career in the minor
leagues, outside of appearing in three games with the Toronto Blue Jays in
1980, before embarking on a managerial career in 1986. Four decades later,
Kelly, now 70, understands the evolution and yearns for yesteryear's ballgame
atmosphere.

蝙蝠隊總教練 Pat Kelly 的 14 年球員生涯大多是在小聯盟度過；除了 1980 年曾代表
多倫多藍鳥隊出賽 3 場之外，他幾乎都在小聯盟打球。
1986 年，他開始了自己的執教生涯。
四十年後，如今已 70 歲的 Kelly 理解棒球環境正在不斷演變，但他仍然懷念昔日的球
場氣氛。


"I compare it to cellphones," Kelly said. "I grew up without cellphones. Now
we have them and you can't walk out of the house without it. Same thing here.
The players are now just used to it."

「我會把這件事拿來跟手機相比，」Kelly 說。
「我是在沒有手機的環境下長大的。現在我們有了手機，甚至沒有它就沒辦法走出家門。
這裡也是一樣。現在的球員就是已經習慣這些東西了。」


The return of Nothing Night last month ended with infielder Michael Chavis, a
five-year MLB vet, coming off the bench to belt a walk-off grand slam to beat
Omaha, a loud conclusion to a quiet affair.

上個月 Nothing Night 的回歸，最終以內野手 Michael Chavis 代打上場，轟出一支再見
滿貫全壘打擊敗 Omaha 作收。
Chavis 是一名擁有 5 年大聯盟資歷的老將，而這支全壘打也為原本安靜的一晚，畫下了
一個震撼而喧鬧的句點。


For Al Greener, the Bats' organist, it was an opportunity to take center
stage and relive the game he fondly remembers.

對蝙蝠隊的風琴手 Al Greener 而言，這則是一個重新站上舞台中央、重溫他所深深懷念
的昔日棒球比賽的機會。


"There's a whole lot of plaques in Cooperstown that I've never heard a
walk-up song," Greener said. "And they did all right."

「在 Cooperstown，有一大堆名人堂牌匾所代表的球員，我從來沒聽過他們的打者登場曲
，」Greener 說。
「而他們一樣打得很好。」
