In the wake of Perfect Game-gate this morning, the New York Times asked me to weigh in on the notion of baseball implementing a comprehensive replay system. Turns out they placed me in some pretty select company; also contributing were Keith Olbermann, longtime Times writer Gerald Eskenazi and Will Carroll, from Baseball Prospectus. Read the story here.
Needless to say, nobody took a stand against replay (although Eskenazi was non-committal). Now it just waits to be seen whether umpire Jim Joyce makes Olbermann’s Worst Person in the World list.
