MLB To Test Two New Replay Systems

[cruzg24]

"Major League Baseball will begin installing two experimental new replay systems this month at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field in New York to test their viability for reviewing fair/foul calls.

The systems won't be used to reverse or confirm calls at this time, according to MLB officials familiar with the sport's plans. But their installation will enable MLB to determine which system would best fit baseball's needs.

"Hawkeye," the camera-based technology used in tennis, will be tested at Citi Field, both during Mets games in September and on off days. A radar-based system, similar to the technology used to track shots in golf telecasts, will be tested at Yankee Stadium. That technology, officials said, has not previously been used to review calls in any sport."

How about they just implement the damn things in every park and start a replay system now?

Selig is the worst

It probably has to do with that whole thing about the sanctity of the game and no altering it significantly from what it once was. But thats just my guess.
