wouldn't you want to play Commissioner of Baseball? Part IV

Now this one is a no-brainer (kinda fits with Selig-huh!) get rid of the All-Star Game winner getting World Series Home Games!  For crying out loud Bud (I forgot, there is no crying in baseball, but..) the All-Star Game is an EXHIBITION GAME!!!!  Do you see the NFL having the preceding year's Pro-Bowl say who gets the Super Bowl?  Ahhhh....NO!  How about the NBA's All-Star Game love fest??? Ahhhhh....NO AGAIN!! Then why is MLB so STUPID to have an important league event (World Series home field) possibly determined by someone representing a team that has been out of the race since opening day (yeah, I could be looking at my young Wahoos!!)?  As much as I don't, or didn't like the home team being alternated every other year, at least that had nothing to do with a made up challenge.  Go back to 1971, Pete Rose v. Ray Fosse.  What if (then it was a BIG WHAT IF) the Tribe was in contention for the WS and because Charlie Hustle took out Fosse and the NL won, home field would have been Cincy and, and w/o the injured Tribe backstop.  Bud, you care about the game, I know I hear your passion on the Mike and Mike Show, but maybe it is time to go back to selling cars.  Either go back to the old way, or find a new way to determine home team, but whatever it will be, it has to be better than attaching it to a meaningless mid-summer game.
