Ok, so I wasn't there when Barry Bonds broke the home-run record. I wasn't there when Cal Ripken passed Lou Gehrig in most consecutive games played (although I saw both on television as they happened) and the piece of history I witnessed is not nearly as glamorous as either of those two events. However, I was there tonight. I can already hear the wheels turning. "What the heck happened tonight?" asks the die-hard baseball fan who happened upon my article. Tonight was the first time in MLB history that an instant replay was used to review a home-run call.
