Instant replay, A-Rod and you
Thanks to Chicago Norm for the shout-out!
Yes, I was at Tropicana Field for the first official use of replay.
But it was not the first time instant replay has been used in baseball.
Help me out here, TFS nation. A few years ago, an umpire ON HIS OWN used replay to help decide a call. He was told not to do it again. Anyone remember the details?
And of course, there was the 1978 hit song "Instant Replay" by Dan Hartman, which has been in my head since last night.
Here's the video. Enjoy.

I'd post the answer but, I already know, thanks to a comment on another blog.
It was in 1999 in a game between the Marlins and Cardinals. Umpire Frank Pulli used a television camera monitor to reduce a Cliff Floyd home run to a double.
