sac fly《野球》〔「Sacrifice fly」の略。1908年のある日、フィラデルフィア・フィリーズのシェリー・マギー選手が三塁ランナーを犠飛でホームインさせ、その後スポーツライターが「目的は一点取ることだから、打率を下げないほうがフェアだ」と認め、犠牲フライは打数とカウントされなくなった。◆After Philadelphia Phillies batter Sherry Magee brought a runner in from third with a sacrifice fly during a 1908 game, sportswriters and others argued that Magee's objective was to get the runner home, and thus his batting average shouldn't suffer in such a situation. Since then, sacrifice flies have not always been counted as at bats.〕
