Should the All-Star Game Determine Home Field Advantage?

A few old age back, the MLB came out with a new regulation stating that the All-star crippled would forevermore find place field advantage for the World Series. My inquiry is this: Should the All-star crippled really play a factor in the World Series? The answer? NO!!!

Whereas all-star crippleds of old were taken very seriously (remember Pete Rose's celebrated hit at place plate?), nowadays, the All-star crippled functions more than as a nighttime of amusement and award for those deemed worthy of inclusion. Much like the NBA's dunk shot competition and three-point contest, the MLB's place tally bowler hat and jovial, paparazzi-laden atmosphere have got cemented the MLB All-star game in the heads of the fans and participants as a fun, center of the season activity, not a competitory game. So, why should one nighttime of lackadaisical baseball game trump card an full season of difficult work? Imagine this - The Mets give it their all for 162 games and end the season with a hard-fought and well deserved record of 104 wins and 58 losses. The Yankees, on the other hand, squeak into the playoffs with a 50-50 record as the wild card and luckily do it to the World Series. Also, adding to the fortune that got them to the World Series, the Yankess, not the Mets, acquire place field advantage because the American League won the All-star game. Doesn't that look a spot unfair? Nevertheless, that is the world of Major League Baseball today.

Ok, even though it looks as if the regulation is completely pointelss, let's state that the participants travel along with it and accept the fact that they have got to win the All-star crippled to derive place field advantage. The result? The participants who actually have got a opportunity to acquire to the human race series will likely be at their best. But others won't. Just believe about the Barry Bonds of the world. Yes, he is going to acquire the invite, because, steroids or not, he is a homerun machine. But, how long make you believe he is going to remain in the game? Maybe for one or two at-bats inch order to delight the crowd. For the remainder of the game he is going to make just that - rest. And so too will many of the best participants in the conference as they make not desire to run the hazard of injury. As a result, even if a participant is trying hard to win the game so his squad can have got got got place field advantage, doing so will be difficult seeing as how the other participants will be anything but reliable, taking the chance for some mid-season R&R..

Furthermore, why should a participant from one squad have to trust on participants from opposing squads who have nil to make with his squad or his success? From where I'm sitting, the regulation just doesn't do sense. Bash you see any other respectable conference make what the MLB is doing? No. Because they understand that you honor the squads who set in the attempt and win, not the squad who by absolute opportunity is lucky adequate to be on the winning side of a street arab testimonial to the best participants in the league.

In sports, regulations are a must. Without them you can't really play. But this is one regulation that just doesn't do sense and should be done away with.
