POPULAR DISSATISFACTION WITH UMPIRING. ESPN had a poll during lst week’s Sunday night game on whether there should be instant replay for questionable home run calls (e.g., near the foul pole). There were a couple hundred thousand responses and 82% favored instant replay on home runs. What is noteworthy is that 48% favored instant replay for everything. Instant replay for other than a few close home run calls presents tremendous logistical difficulties, so I take this as a vote of no confidence in the umpires.
