Major kudos to Red Sox manager
John Farrell for confronting the 300-pound
All-Star Game elephant in the room. Farrell is advocating an
alternative to using
The Midsummer Classic as the determinant of home-field advantage in the World Series. He would prefer the
much more rational formula of overall interleague record. Said Farrell today,
"My preference, personal opinion, I think the overall record in interleague play would be more representative of who deserves home-field advantage." This is something we have advocated for a
long time and are glad to be joined by a
bit more influential voice.
