MLB first: Instant Replay used for first time in Yankees-Tampa Rays game v A-rod homerun

A-rod makes another list of all-time baseball stats, his homerun at Tampa Rays Trop Field is reviewed with Instant Replay, first time in baseball history. It is decided in favor of A-rod, but Rays announcers are not impressed. They say a better use of the technique would have been a review of the pitch prior to the homerun. They felt the pitch from Percival to A-rod was clearly a strike but was called a ball.

• Time consumed in Instant Replay review, per Rays announcers:
• 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
