BASEBALL'S WINTER MEETINGS: GMs want instant replay; Schilling, Byrd stay put

For the first time Tuesday, baseball general managers recommended instant replay be used to help umpires make close calls.
The recommendation, by a 25-5 vote, was limited to boundary calls — whether potential home runs are fair or foul, whether balls go over fences or hit the top and bounce back, and whether fans have interfered with a possible homer.
Baseball commissioner Bud Selig opposes the use of replays but said last month he was willing to let GMs examine the issue.
“I don’t like instant replay because I don’t like all the delays. I think it sometimes creates as many problems or more than it solves,” Selig said then.

I only linked the part of the article that was relevant to the topic. I will plead ignorance and assume that Bud still needs to give his approval.
