On second thought

So, last night, Major League Baseball gets its first use of instant replay. The umpire's home run call on an Alex Rodriguez blast was upheld. It took a little over two minutes for the ruling.

So, what do you think?

When I saw it, I thought about that game a few months ago between the Mets and Yankees where Carlos Delgado's home run was called foul. I remember seeing then-Mets manager Willie Randolph standing there, arguing the call for several minutes. The foul call stood and replays showed it was indeed a home run.

I'm all for the preservation of the purity of the game. But what does this hurt?

Get the call right -- that should be the most important thing.
