better look at these nutcutters...
cost only about 150K per team (hell raise beer 50 cents)

Does this mean 6 per game, with umpires down the LF and RF lines?
I'd be more in favor of an idea some have thrown around, with a 5th added to each crew who rotates to the booth as the "Replay Umpire" the day after a plate job.
