Billy Buter gets a game winning hit for the A.L. which in turn gives the Yankees home field? Puke. I'd rather the N.L. team get homefield than for one of ours to help the Yankees in any way. Or a Cubs player doing the same for the N.L. giving the Cardinals home field? I'm sure Cubs fans love that idea.
How about the team with the best record who's in the WS gets homefield advantage? Teams are tied?... go to tie breakers. It's just to logical to work I guess.

Didn't it used to alternate between the AL & NL (I could be making that up)? I think the current way is completely ridiculous, but I guess getting HFA because it's your league's year wouldn't have been much better. Then again, it's a pretty ridiculous league, considering the fact that all teams don't even play by the same rules.
