Instant Replay in Baseball?

Instant replay in football became popular not too long ago. First in the NFL where coaches are allowed to now challenge plays twice a game before the 2 minute mark at the end of each half. The coach is rewarded another challenge if he gets both right, but for each one that he gets wrong the team is penalized with a timeout. Then it was passed down to the NFL's free minor league which we know as college football. Replay rules depend on the conference and referees of the game. Then next sport that I caught using a sort of replay was tennis where the player can call an electronic simulation of where the ball landed on the court. Earlier this year though someone hit the ball as they called for the replay and they were not awarded the replay due to continuation of play from the player. Now were late in the 2008 baseball season and we see it again. The first use of instant replay in Major League Baseball. It took place in a game where the Tampa Bay Devil Rays hosted the New York Yankees. Alex Rodriguez hit what looked like a home run to let field. The ball sails high in the lights and hits the net like part of the foul pole. The umpires of the game talk about it and review and make the right call and Rodriguez is awarded the home run. A lot of people are talking that the replay is taking away from the game. So many games in the past have been affected by a bad call from an umpire. Whats to happen to all of those games? Why have umpires all together now? What will the extent of detail of the replay be? Will it be used for every strike called a ball and vice versa? Is a win really a win if the wrong call was made? I believe that it isnt a bad idea. It can help the game in many ways. It has done wonders for the NFL and tennis. Although it can elongate already long baseball games, I much rather have a game called fairly then not any day of the week. I know that Rodriguez likes the idea after earlier this year Rodriguez was robbed of a home run because of a bad call from an umpire. The ball bounced back into the field after hitting the foul pole and the top of the wall. Instant replay will definitely will make a difference and will better the game. No more bad calls and contreversy.
