Don’t fear the machine: Baseball needs instant replay
With a two-run lead and two outs in the ninth inning on Wednesday, Yankees right fielder Greg Golson made a shoe-string catch that was called a base hit because the umpire ruled that he had trapped the ball. Replays showed that this was not the case. Thankfully for MLB, Twins DH Jim Thome popped out to end the game, instead of tying the game with a home run.
