In the men’s draw, both Rafael Nadal and top-ranked Novak Djokovic were playing Italian teenagers later.

“Baseball is not a linear, symmetrical sport to call,” Kasper said. “When you watch basketball, football, hockey, 95-plus percent of the camera shots for a broadcast are essentially from where the broadcasters sit — the 50-yard line, center court, center ice.

“It’s beyond sacred,” La Russa said of Mack’s mark. “Unattainable. I didn’t even think this was attainable, actually. I’m talking about the last four, five years of my career.
