    New idea to determine home-field for WS

    Home field in the WS is too important for it to be decided by the AS game, which most players don't care too much about anyway.

    So I was thinking that they should give it to the league with the most interleague wins for that season. Pretty fair and easy IMO.

    Or.....



    How about the team with the best record overall in the league? If it isn't broke then don't fix it.

      I like the interleague idea. The ASG is far too much about streaks for it to be a viable option of decding homefield. Things go in cycles far too often, right now we're in a cycle where the AL is just dominating the NL and i'm sure the pendulum (sp) will swing the other way sooner or later.

        It should be the team with the best overall record. However, to my knowledge, it has never been that way. Before the ASG determined it, home field in the World Series alternated between the leagues each year.

          Exactly. The only reason the home field advantage is involved with the All-Star game is so that we don't get another tie. A problem with the All-Star game is the reason the home field advantage system was changed, not because of a problem with home field advantage. If it wasn't in the All-Star game, we wouldn't have to come up with wacky new ways to hand out home field advantage, since the past system works fine.

          BTW- I personally don't mind home field advantage being determined from the All-Star game, I was just throwing something out there.

            Right you are.

              I really like the interleague idea. Anything is better than this damn AS idea, although it does get me caring about the game more often.

                What would happen if the record was tied?

                I like that idea though. The interleague play should determain WS Home Field but I like the idea of better record of the 2 teams

                  If the record is tied I imagine they would have the ASG determine home field at that point.

                    I thought about this possibility.

                    If the standings are tied at the end of the season, the two managers from the last WS have a staring contest which would be aired live on PPV and hosted by Andy Dick. I think its a great idea.
