what? major sports are TOO proactive...especially NBA and NFL
even in baseball, with quick ejections and fines and suspensions...if anything, Selig has retarded the pace at which baseball becomes like the NFL and NBA...that is a good thing, but a dumb west-coaster like u doesnt understand the purity of the game
I salute Selig for not caving into silly pressures from fans who can't realize it's just a game

His statement said MLB will examine the replay process.
Sure he will. Sure they will.
Last season MLB made the right call by allowing reply to be used for HR calls during the season.
Here is another opportunity for MLB to simply do the right thing.
Give the kid his perfect game.
Take all the pressure of the umpire. The man has suffered enough and to be honest, his suffering could have been avoided if Selig has the balls to do the right thing.
Technology is so advanced, calls like this can be changed in the best interest in the game.
