ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Major League Baseball launches limited instant replay on home run calls beginning today.

Brewers manager Ned Yost would take it even further than that. Yost would like to see the replay used to correct calls in other areas of the game.

Yost says he's never been beaten by a miscalled home run, but rather missed calls on the bases.

The Brewers skipper says umpires are right 98 percent of the time, but it's that two percent that could cost you a game.

Major League Baseball reversed its decades-long opposition to instant replay and will allow umpires to check video on home run calls starting today.
