Instant Replay in baseball works. MLB’s first look at instant replay is correct, after looking over Alex Rodriguez’s homerun against the Tampa Bay Rays. Alex Rodriguez began a new era in baseball today by hitting a homerun just over the foul poll in tonight’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. A-Rod hit a shot deep to left field and the ball just went over the foul poll and the umpires on the field called it a homerun. The umpires went inside to look at the homerun at 10:20 and in 2 minutes the umpires saw the replay and decided the home run was legit. This was the first home run reviewed in major league history and is a milestone in MLB History.
The homerun was historic in another facet also as Rodriguez passed Mike Schmidt on the all-time homerun list. The speed in which the umpires looked at the instant replay today and made the right choice shows that this is a good idea for baseball and it only makes since that today’s best home run hitter was the first to be reviewed.
