When you compare baseball to such sports as tennis and American football, it seems far behind in using technology to reduce error on the field of play.

That resistance to change is viewed by some to be a part of baseball's charm. Well I would like MLB to go further than this narrow use of replay for homeruns and broaden it to include catches in the outfield when uncertain, tags, etc. And if tennis can use technology to determine if a ball is inbounds, why not do the same for balls and strikes (a form of this is already tested and available, but not being considered).
