Instant Replay In Baseball...

I think the iron-man/DH comparison is fair, even though football changed so long ago. It's highly specialized now. So is baseball, to a good extent.
Both being completely different games that don't even rub against each other strategically, that's where the similarity ends. It's like saying Curling and Hockey are alike because they're played on ice.
In baseball, you hit the ball, catch the ball, and throw the ball. Unless you're a pitcher or DH in the AL. That's inconsistent.

I can see where replay would be nice in baseball. I still don't want it. Add replay, you remove the need for good sportsmanship. Case in point, the NFL.
