Selig: MLB Plans To Expand Replay
ARLINGTON (AP) Commissioner Bud Selig tells a Dallas radio station baseball plans to expand its use of replay, but he says reviewing every close call would hurt the game.
Umpire Ron Kulpa blew a call at first base during St. Louis' 16-7 victory at Texas in Game 3 of the World Series on Saturday night, kickstarting the replay debate once again. Baseball currently limits replay use to disputed home runs.
Selig tells ESPN baseball will "enlarge replay a little bit.'' He also says ''If you're going to start replaying every controversial decision or every close call, I think that hurts the sport.''
The Associated Press reported in April baseball was leaning toward expanding replay for the 2012 season to include trapped balls and fair-or-foul rulings down the lines.
