I was speaking of the 140 years of tradition of NOT having replay in baseball, BTW.

As far as IR goes, I'm one of the staunchest traditionalists around, but I'm also a realist. Seeing something like 8 or more of these screwed up home run/foul/ground rule double calls in a 7-day span alone last month, I've come to accept, possible even advocate, the use of IR on a very limited basis, that being for these types of calls only. |

"When I started, the game was played by nine tough competitors on grass, in graceful ball parks. But while I was trying to answer the daily Quiz-O-Gram on the exploding scoreboard, a revolution was taking place around me. By the time I finished, there were ten men on each side, the game was played indoors on plastic, and I had to spend half my time watching out for a man dressed in a chicken suit who kept trying to kiss me."
--Ron Luciano, MLB umpire 1968-1980 |

Hmmm....spend a bazillion dollars for instant replay cameras and equipment AND add one replay official at each site, or put another umpire under each foul pole. I'm for the working man - use 6-man crews!

Maybe sooner than later
Just noted on ESPN.com that they are looking at replay for home runs for this postseason instead of waiting for next year.
Interesting poll where 23 percent say they want a challenge system ... : Of course there is no way to implement something like that to baseball, but with today's society, who knows ... Thansk David |
