Well, there shouldn't be.

When you find an answer, doesn't there have to be a question?  Who exactly was demanding instant replay on home run calls in baseball?  If not managers, players, owners, or umpires, then who?  When was the big fiasco that prompted replay as a fix?  What key game was decided by a fair or foul call?

Wasn't the problem with baseball that the games lasted too long?

This will help.

The way I understand it, the Big Giant Head will be in New York looking down every foul line in major league baseball, waiting for the disputed call that probably won't come.  Over the course of a season there will likely be less than a dozen which should be reviewed.

But that isn't what will happen.

Because the technology is there it will be used.  And we'll have fifty or sixty calls a year looked at, and forty or five calls upheld.

It gets worse.

Currently if the call by the umpire on a long drive is foul, the runner stops running and goes back to the plate.  What happens now?  You run out every long drive near the line because it MIGHT be ruled fair?

What if you accept the umpires argument and head back to the plate. The the BGH turns on the magic light and the umpires disappear off the field to meditate under the golden hood.  The ball is ruled fair and you have to run back around a base you already passed.  What if there are already three men on base? 

I'm getting a headache, and its name is Selig.

What happens to the pitcher while all this is going on?  How many warm up pitches do you allow, given that you just interrupted the game?

And who says a video review won't be distorted by bad camera angles and no more likely to be right than an umpire on the field making the call?

Baseball is alright.  It isn't broken, and if the powers that be will just stop trying to fix it everything will be fine.

As Casey Stengel used to say, you can look it up.

Offense went down, so baseball's rulers lowered the mound.  Now they can't figure out why starting pitchers can't go 200 innings in a season without a risk of arm injury.

They thought the DH was a grand idea, but only implemented it in one league.  Now the World Series is dominated by the AL because they win a match up between real DH's and pinch hitters.

Baseball couldn't reign incompetent umpires, so they tinkered with the strike zone to accomodate them.  Now the high strike is gone, three ball counts are on the rise, and the game takes forever.

Now this.

Memo to Bud Selig.  Just go away. 

You don't have to quit as Commissioner.  You can go to all the games you want free, hang out in New York.  Take in a Broadway show.  Eat at the Carnegie Deli.  Walk through Central Park.  Go all the way to the top of the Empire State Building.

Just leave baseball alone.
