        <body>I think any changes they make shouldnt occur until 2009 after a long and thorough discussion by the people in the know in MLB, including consulting with the umpires union. I would like them to decide what is best and feasible for the sport. The fact that it was an HR involving the Yankees that was disputed. gives this more urgency than it really needs.</body>

  <body>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you favor the use of instant replay to review home runs?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Yes...... 72%&lt;br /&gt;No...... 28%&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To review close plays on the base paths?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Yes...... 19%&lt;br /&gt;No....... 81%&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  [Based on a survey of 444 players]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FAST FACTS: After a spate of controversial home runs this season, MLB is  planning to implement instant replay to review homers and other close  fair-or-foul calls.... Players with fewer than five years&amp;#39;  experience are somewhat more opposed to instant replay: More than half are  against using it to review homers, and more than 85% don&amp;#39;t want it to settle  base path plays.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is an MLB poll from the September 1 2008 issue of &lt;em&gt;Sports  Illustrated&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&amp;#39;s your take on this poll?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</body>
