Well, being that before this year they simply had home field advantage swapping between the leagues every year, I don't think this is much different. Except now I guess you can blame your fellow league players if they lose? I dunno.
A stat:
The AL has only won 14 of the last 38 all star games, but they've won more than 50% of the World Series in the same time frame. I'm not gonna crunch the numbers on the winner of the All Star game and the winner of the world series, though I'm sure someone has already done it...
The AL should be a little worried and ready to show up under this new format....
