Instant Replay in Baseball
I'm a huge traditionalist when it comes to baseball. I hate the designated hitter, aluminum bats, and Astroturf (although I'm indifferent towards Fieldturf).
That said, I'm okay with MLB's new experiment with instant replay. The above abominations distort the game, making it an ugly mutation of its former self. But with instant replay, baseball remains true to itself, it just makes the on-field decisions more precise, which is what everyone wants in the first place.
David Keating, our executive director and a baseball fan himself, may disagree, but I'm okay with it. Bring it on, I say.
