I don't like what it counts for, but I never liked that home field advantage in the WS alternated between Leagues either. Best record should get you home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Just like in all of our other major sports. You play 162 games. You end up with the best record in baseball, and if you make the WS, you might be on the road for 4 of the 7 games. That's B.S. I don't know, I'd be a little ticked off. I really don't care if either team wins the All-Star game. It's an exhibition. A tie is fine by me. Have them play 9 innings, get everyone in the game, and be done with it. I don't see why it has to "count" for anything.
