It's the 7th game of the 2012 World Series, the Yankees are hosting
the Reds. It's the bottom of the 9th, the Reds lead by the score of
2-1 and are an out away from the championship. With Jeter on third
base, Cordero gets A-Rod to hit a grounder to the right. Votto moves
over and picks it cleanly, he throws to Cordero covering first and
Coco clearly beats the runner - the Reds win the World Series!

But not so fast... the first base umpire blows the call, exactly like
in Detroit. A-Rod is safe, Jeter scores the tying run. Frustrated and
shocked, Cordero is rattled and his next fastball catches too much of
the plate. Teixeira hammers it over the fence - the Yankees win the
World Series!

Would you rather watch your Reds have a World Series stolen from them
instead of letting the umps use instant replay to get the call right?
