A baseball scene shows a New York Yankees batter standing in his follow-through, admiring a deep hit toward center field. Behind him, a catcher crouches and glances sideways with mild annoyance at a mounted robotic umpire device. The robot resembles a fixed stadium sensor on a short post with a camera lens and a narrow LED display that is lit as if speaking. Below the image, the caption reads: “Recalculating. Ground-rule double. Proceed 90 feet to first base, then turn left for another 90 feet. Estimated arrival time to second base: six seconds.”
Another entry in my Drawn and Cultured Wednesdays series.
I am a big baseball fan but the robo-ump experiment may still have a glitch or two.
