This series has been great, but I'm sorry to see instant replay being implemented to make final calls on the plays. One of the great things about baseball for me was always that human error was part of it, and an umpire's call was final even when everybody else on the planet but the umps knew it. That heartbreak was fodder for a million conversations all winter.
