Company puts chip in soccer ball
Cairos Technologies has developed a radio chip that fits inside a soccer ball. The purpose of the chip is to help referees determine whether or not the ball has crossed the goal line. The chip transmits 2,000 signals a second to a receiver network of 12 antennas, placed around the field, including on light fixtures. The receivers then send information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can instantly tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. My million dollar idea is to put something like this in a baseball so that umpires can get some help with foul balls.

A baseball is solid so it would be really hard to implant it. My million dollar idea years ago was to fix cameras in every ball park at a known places and record every pitch as it goes over the plate. Superimpose the strike zone over the picture and just let that decide if it was a ball or strike
Not only is a baseball too hard, to many of them are used a game. Unless the chip was very cheap it would be too expensive to put one in every ball, used for every game.
There you go naysaying again, always naysaying. Why don't you invent something like radio chips in a baseball? Go sit in your tower.
