Well now they play for home filed advantage in the World Series, so yes it can be pretty important.
But even back in the day the game was important.Back before free agency and players swapping leagues, the All Star game was to show who the stronger league truly was. Which league had the best players.
And for those who think it isn't all that important and never was..... ask Pete Rose and Ray Fosse, how important that game is.
