There’s a very real chance that major league players could participate in the O
lympics for the first time. If they do, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has strong
feelings about who should lead Team USA at the 2028 Summer Games.
Himself.
大聯盟球員首次參加奧運，確實存在相當高的可能性。若真如此，道奇隊總教練戴夫・羅伯
茲（Dave Roberts）對於誰該在 2028 年夏季奧運領軍美國隊，有著非常明確的想法——那
個人就是他自己。
“I want to manage the Olympic team,” Roberts told the California Post. “That
’s what I want to do. In L.A., I want to manage that team.”
羅伯茲對《California Post》表示：「我想執教奧運代表隊，這就是我想做的事。在洛杉
磯，我想帶領那支球隊。」
Roberts went on to list his qualifications.
The Olympics will be in Los Angeles and the baseball competition will be staged
at Dodger Stadium.
羅伯茲接著列舉了自己的「資歷」。
奧運將在洛杉磯舉行，而棒球賽事的場地正是道奇球場。
“I went to school here,” the UCLA graduate said. “I manage the Dodgers.

“It’s a no-brainer.”
這位 UCLA 畢業生說道：「我在這裡念書，我現在執教道奇隊。這根本不用多想。」
Roberts also represented the United States at the 1999 Pan American Games. Becau
se the U.S. finished second, it qualified for the 2000 Olympics, at which it won
a gold medal with Tommy Lasorda as its manager.
羅伯茲也曾在 1999 年代表美國參加泛美運動會，當時美國隊拿下第二名，因而取得 2000
年奧運參賽資格，並在名將湯米・拉索達（Tommy Lasorda）擔任總教練的情況下奪得金牌
。
Something else Roberts didn’t mention: The son of an African American father an
d Japanese mother, he reflects the wide range of cultures that can be found in L
os Angeles.
此外，羅伯茲還有一點沒有提到：他是非裔美國人父親與日本母親所生，正好體現了洛杉磯
這座城市所擁有的多元文化樣貌。
For players such as Ohtani and Harper to be cleared to play, an agreement must b
e reached between Major League Baseball, the players’ union and LA28, the organ
izing committee for the 2028 Olympics.
像是大谷翔平與哈波（Bryce Harper）這樣的球員，若要獲准參加奧運，必須在美國職棒大
聯盟（MLB）、球員工會，以及 2028 年洛杉磯奧運組委會（LA28）之間達成協議。
Commissioner Rob Manfred has sounded increasingly optimistic that a deal could b
e made.
聯盟主席羅伯・曼佛瑞（Rob Manfred）近來對於能夠達成協議，釋出了越來越樂觀的態度
。
A major obstacle was removed in November when LA28 announced a new schedule for
its baseball, with the competition requiring just a slightly extended All-Star b
reak from MLB.
而一項重大障礙已於 11 月排除，當時 LA28 公布了全新的棒球賽程安排，該賽程僅需 MLB
略為延長明星賽週的休兵時間即可配合。
