The Umpires/Referees And Rules Need Serious Review And Reform In Professional Sports
The baseball playoffs have been plagued by at least 4 horribly botched calls, commentators and journalists are ripping umpires citing years of documented cases where those particular umpires blew it. Meanwhile football has disputes over how and where a quarterback can be tackled if at all. And in many sports it doesn't matter if video, 10,000 witnesses, and the players all see and prove what really happened because the botched ruling on the field is inviolable. We need to review the rules, review who enforces the rules, fire some umps, and get back to the game.

It's crazy out there but I've always said that if you want to win, do it in a fashion that leaves no doubt. If it's close, it's really just a tie with the victory going to the lucky.

 So your answer to the question whether or not a ball lands left of a line or right of a line is eh the ump's call is just luck of the draw anyway and it's the batter's own fault for not just hitting it straight center field. Helpful.
