10 better ways to determine home field advantage - Bloody Anus - 07-12-2007
Having the winner of the all-star game get home field in the World Series is obviously the most retarded idea that any professional sports commissioner has ever conjured. I'm not even going to waste time explaining why this has always been a horrible idea. It's really self explanatory.
Instead, here are just a few ideas that make way more sense:
1. Whoever leads the majors in home runs, the league they are in gets home field
2. The league that wins more interleague games gets home field
3. Take the 2 worst teams from each league. The team with the better record earns home field for their league
4. Combine the wins from all 8 playoff teams. The league that has a win total closest to 386 WITHOUT GOING OVER, gets home field
5. The league that totals the most 2-out triples gets home field
6. The conference that wins the Pro Bowl will earn home field for their opposite corresponding league. (AFC=NL; NFC=AL)
7. The league that has the most in-season managerial changes gets home field
8. The league that hits more opposite field home runs in the home run derby gets home field
9. The league that has the most pitchers undergo Tommy John surgery during the season gets home field
10. At the beginning of each postseason Bud Selig will be blindfolded as he throws a dart at the US map. He will then calculate the distance from each postseason city to this random spot. The league that has the cities with the shortest combined distance to this spot wins home field.

How about we have the Comissioner pick a number and have the league presidents guess. Whoever's closer, wins!
Nice post, Anus.

they have league presidents?

I think so. Bill White used to be one, I believe.

its simple, the team with the better record should always have home field advantage. reward the team for their work over a 162 game season, not over the outcome of one game which only a few of the players participated in.

Agreed

if you take away the home field advantage, noone will watch the All-Star game. Oh, wait...
