The average baseball game takes nearly three hours with some lasting more than four. Baseball has slowed down over the years and no longer enjoys the Tom Seaver and Stave Carlton pitching duels.

Some might say that instant replay would only slow down the game further but at least it would add some value. At the current pace going to a game is a day at the park, literally.
