Author: Joe Posnanski
Summary: After a terrible call on Friday night's game between the Twins and Yankees, where Joe Mauer's sure-double was called foul, replay in baseball is being talked about. For the most part the umpires seem to be making the right calls, but it is now in the playoffs that if a call is missed it may prove to be crucial. No one wants to see a game or series go one way because of a miserable call. However, neither does anybody want to see the excitement of the sport fade because the umpires need to take the time to huddle up and look at a replay.
What I learned about writing: Writing with your own opinion in mind can be very powerful. Posnanski makes an interesting point by writing his personal thoughts of the matter. I learned that by comparing the argument to something else in specific (e.g. the rules of baseball to the rules of football), the reader is able to understand exactly the point which the author is presenting.
