Sorry, Hammer, that's way too low. Historically, the Home Field Advantage hovers around 55%. In fact last year it was 57 and 53 for the NL and AL respectively. It's a bug, albeit a minor one.</strong><hr></blockquote>

[Whiny Al Gore voice]I have to disagree with your numbers.[/Whiny Al Gore voice]

My brief research shows in 2001, the NL home W% was .517 and the AL W% was .528, which combines for a .522 W%. Those numbers were down across the board, as in 2000 it was NL-.543, AL-.537, MLB-.540.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's a bug, but a design choice. A bug is when an aspect of the game does not behave as it was designed to do. Now, you or I may disagree with the design decision, but that doesn't make it a bug.
