We need to bring in technology so that umpiring decisions that are controversial can be challenged by players. Similar to tennis, each team should be allowed to challenge the umpire\'s decision 3 times per innings. When they challenge the umpire\'s decision, existing technology should be used to determine the outcome.

I am currently compiling our arguments to present directly to the league officials. Post this link on Facebook and text three friends to keep the pressure on them. We need to show that players and fans demand accuracy during every game.

The momentum behind this call for fair play is undeniable and proves that players and fans are ready for change. Now is the time to leverage this pressure by tweeting this link to your local sports league office and emailing your representative to demand a review of current rules.

3 challenges per side sounds fair. tennis and cricket do it so why is baseball still stuck in the dark ages?

SO TRUE. How many games have been ruined by human error? Just fix the system already.
