An Endangered Species?
For some time a minority of fans and general managers have clamored for instant replay in baseball. A minority, that is, until the ‘07 off season. during the winter meetings a majority of GMs voted to review the possibility of imposing instant replay on America’s pastime. The horror and disgust I feel at the very thought on instant replay is not unlike the feelings I have concerning all the talk some years back about stationing U.N. guards at our national parks and turning them into “World Heritage Sites.” Both concepts eviscerate the grandeurand original intent behind them, be it baseball or OUR (read American’s) national parks.
Lisa Fabrizio has an excellent article on The American Spectator website concerning the deconstruction of the umpire. I join with Ms. Fabrizio in her call to “Save the Umpires.”
