Is Instant Replay Finally Here in Baseball?

I have always personally asked, what was so special about baseball that they did not want instant replay and technology as part of their game?

Some argued that if they add one small thing, why not have a computer dictate the strike zone?

In the end it's about getting the calls right regardless of what sport you're in. I have experience in refereeing (albeit on a volunteer level) as does a friend in umpiring. We know that some calls are just impossible and some of the calls are just so close if you blink you missed it.

Instant Replay has not been officially added to MLB but generally managers did resounding approve it 25-5 for home run calls. This is a GREAT step forward to getting the call right. I think we may still have controversy as sports always do but that's unavoidable.

I probably would institute the challenge option for plays at 1st base, it would reduce the amount of possible hostility between players and managers. It seems like home run balls most of the umpires seem to get it right anyway (to my surprise).

Either way, I've always been a fan of getting the call right. It's a shame for a team to lose on a botched call.
