One last thought...

When instant replay first became popular, fans clamored for it to be utilized because of blown calls. When pro football implimented it, some fans, players and coaches said that it would destroy the game. Did it?

We saw a college football season put it to good use and a professional system that has damn near perfected it. The length of time and multiple angles help get the call right. That is what officiating is supposed to be about. Too often we find guys that say, just call it and let them figure it out. Instant replay has made officiating better, not worse. The accountability makes them hustle more, get into a better position and really focus on the play.

Like football, basketball and hockey, instant replay in baseball would likely have a limited use. Those of you who can't figure out how it can be used for fair/foul or catch/no catch calls amaze me. In football those fair/foul calls are akin to the OOB or line call. (Was his toe on the line or not?) The catch/no catch is almost exactly the same in football. (Did he catch it or not?)

I said it before, we can operate on a 60' field with one man. When you get to Varsity ball, you need two or three. The big boys use four and come play off time, six men are out there. The more eyes the better. The replay cameras are just that. The unbiased eye in the sky.
