fans don't vote for pitchers Which is very bizarre. All Star games are stupid anyway, and I don't really care about the voting. But what is the point of letting fans stuff ballots for hitters and not pitchers? Do they think fans aren't capable of judging what a quality pitcher is? It's all part of making the All-Star game as pointless and archaic as possible. Seriously. Home field advantage. In the Series. Decided in an exhibition game. Idiotic. It's not like deciding it randomly was much better. Well, it wasn't decided randomly, everybody knew which league would have it going into the year. It rotated, that's not random. Yeah, I just used random in the sense that it's not related to anything about the strength of the teams playing in it or the strength of the league. Personally, I wish they'd give it to the team with the best record, but if it's down to either rotating it from league to league each year or having it won in the All-Star game, I like the All-Star game idea a little better. I think the winner of the Interleague Series, as in whichever league has the better interleague record, should be more of an indicator as to who should get home field. That is far less idiotic than having it decided either by rotation or by a single exhibition game which may or may not include the best players and coaches from each league.
