Instant Replay In Baseball...

Although I think there isn't really a need for it, and human error will happen regardless, because where does the video replay stop having authority, plays like the one that cost Galaraga a perfect game a few seasons ago makes part of me wish there was a 'specific situation' use of replay.

I forgot about that one, and it hurt.
What I remember most is how Armando handled it. He was gracious, understanding, and forgave the official that missed the call. That guy was absolutely torn up over it.
In my eyes, that was a much better everything than another perfect game in the books, and Armando knows he did it. So does everyone else.
Look how he handled it the day after it happened. The Perfect Gentleman.
They even gave him a new Corvette for being so awesome.
Here's another excellent video tearjerker.
