Re: Owners vote in favor of instant replay on home run calls
Step 1 in the (appropriate and good) phasing out of umpires in MLB.
Be pretty simple to automate fair/foul calls. Less simple to automate balls/strikes. Less simple to automate safe/out.
Just a matter of time though imo.
Very much for the good of the game - eliminating any bias and/or potential ref-related scandals (point shaving, match fixing).
