Instant Replay used on Home Run

MLB finally used its replay system on a monster (probably over 450 feet) home run by Alex Rodriguez in yesterday's Yankee game in Tampa (actually St. Petersburg).  What a joke.  Instead of worrying about enforcing the current rules, change the dumb rules!

As written previously:

1. Establish a distance for a fly ball to be a home run.

2. Mark that distance (380 feet seems reasonable) in all directions in all parks, including into the stands where the wall is closer than that distance and where a ball hit into those stands would be a ground rule double.

3. Include in the home run area long distances in foul territory like the upper deck where no fielder has a play, which is the reason for having foul territory.

Here are the top ten reasons for boring baseball fans to oppose this:

The rules are the rules.

The rules are the rules.

The rules are the rules.

The rules are the rules.

The rules are the rules.

The rules are the rules.

The rules are the rules.

The rules are the rules.

The rules are the rules.

The rules are the rules.

How about changing the ancient rules when they make no sense?  Why continue to reward the pitcher for making mistakes?  If the batter hits a bomb, give the batter a home run.  That's fair.  That makes sense.
