Ah, true on all counts. But soccer is boring so I discount your viewpoint.

Why not base home field advantage on the number of players in each league with the letter A in their last name... makes about as much sense, and might even be more fair.
Although, if it weren't for the "outrage" of the imbecile fans (that we're even a member of) over that All Star game ending in a tie Selig wouldn't have changed it. We, the fans, are responsible for them trying to "make it count" because we, as a whole, are too stupid to realize it's a meaningless game that's played entirely for entertainment.

Blah... okay maybe purity existed in grade school before we had to start sheltering our children from negative connotations. At this point... everyone is good enough, strong enough, and dahgonit people like us!
