Pete and Mbcrowder both bring up excellent points. Pete, I had never thought of having MLB take over umpire training.
Mbcrowder's response is very good, too. The game has changed over the years. We all know at one time players didn't use batting helmets. Over 100 years ago, they didn't even use gloves! However, over time, these have been accepted into the game, and I would expect over time IR would be accepted just as it has in the NFL.
