There's IR in football and hockey. No, it's not for any play, but there are defined plays. I would assume baseball would also define which plays can be reviewed.
In football and hockey, if the play is reviewed, the official's call is only overturned if there's conclusive video to show the original call was incorrect. In any other situation, the original call stands.

Actually, we have no indication as to what ESPN's criteria was in determining which calls they decided to review, other than "requiring instant replay."
