I can go on both sides of the fence on this one. On the one hand I like the idea of baseball implementing replay because it could eventually lead to safe and out calls as well as the fair, foul and homerun calls. The big reason I like this is that in the 2005 NLCS an umpire missed a call at 2nd base when Biggio looked to have tagged out Molina. When they showed the replay Biggio had missed the tag, but because the umpire had been blocked by Biggio he couldn't make the correct call. Which cost St. Louis the game, and eventually the series.
On the other hand, I really don't want to see replay come into baseball because having an umpire decide on the spot fair-foul, homerun-not, and maybe eventually safe-out; is what helps make baseball so great!
