MLB All-Star Game
I've heard a lot of negative talk about when the All-Star game decided home field advantage for the World Series. I don't know if that's the best way to decide home field advantage, but I know that before that the alternating system was crazy. The Twins won in '87 and '89 because (and only because) they happened to make the World Series in odd numbered years. They literally won 2 World Series by only winning at home.

Agree. Not sure there really is a good way in baseball since the league schedules are so unbalanced.

If I had a vote it would go to the league that wins interleague play during the season.

I'm glad home field goes to the team with the highest win pct. It was such a simple fix I'm surprised it took them so long.
As for the game last night the wireless interviews with the outfielders while they were playing was very interesting.
