Praise the lord. AP is reporting the All-Star Game results won't determine World Series home field. Goes to pennant winner with best record.

Luckily this never really screwed anyone in a World Series.

RIP to the last competitive, fun-to-watch All Star game. Just another exhibition game now.

Thank god... Was fricking stupid that the best team in the league didn't get home field.

Prior to the rule change they alternated annually like the NFL does for the Super Bowl.

One of the items that made the MLB a laughing stock to a lot of people.

I am glad they have changed this

That's the point of an All Star Game

The Cubs won the WS because of this. If Game 6 or 7 were in Wrigley the Indians win the series.

I always thought Selig was on full retard when he implemented that rule.

Can we get rid of fan voting and every team has to have a player in the All-Star game?

i never had a problem with the rule. So you get one less game in the world series. Cry me a river. Go win a game.

Basically the only way you can really even almost attribute this to anything is if a Game 7 is decided by one run or goes to extras when the road team has the better regular season record and loses.
The number of times this has happened: twice.
