Not everything in PRO football is reviewable and the same would be true in baseball.

What will probably be indoctrinated into baseball as far as IR goes is on a HR vs. book rule double and whether or not the ball was fair/ Foul concerning a dinger. Also, if a fan interfered with a ball in play.

The type of play you refer to would not be reviewable.

Reviewing home runs/or not is okay by me. Some parks have such crazy configurations it is impossible to be in postion to see everything. I know in Detroit there is a section of the fence in right center field which takes a 90 degree turn where if a fan reaches out and touches the ball it would be very difficult to determine home run or rule book double.

Fair or foul is not that hard, since the foul line in baseball is fair and the foul pole has a large screen in fair territory. In football the ball must be entirely inside the extended upright, but in baseball it does not.

Glad to see you would not burden the game with any other replays.
