as part of the new collective bargaining agreement.
The league that wins baseball's All-Star Game no longer will get home-field advantage in the World Series, which instead will go to the pennant winner with the better regular-season record.
The change was included in Major League Baseball's tentative new collective bargaining agreement and disclosed early Thursday to The Associated Press by a person familiar with the agreement. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the deal, reached Wednesday evening in Irving, Texas, had not been announced.
In addition, players and management agreed the minimum stay on the disabled list will be reduced from 15 days to 10.

It should first be best "inter-league play" record. But whatever. Without Charlie Hustle in the HOF whatever MLB does is pointless.

Agreed. Using interleague play record rewards the better league. Using best record overall rewards the weaker league that allowed a team to gain so many wins...
The old even/odd year system worked better at determining WSHFA...

Both umpires are checking it out pretty closely.

They think it's a Magic Eye puzzle and they are using the same technique they use to call balls & strikes to see what it might be.

This is a good idea.
I agree with LB about the inter-league play record. Oh well.
