Stoney Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 Manfred finally got something right. It's simplicity and genius makes me think they stole it from one of us here at SDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 It's about time they went to the way it was supposed to be. I understand that they changed it to the All Star game, because of the tie. I didn't like the alternating years between the two leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Rab Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 It's about time they went to the way it was supposed to be. I understand that they changed it to the All Star game, because of the tie. I didn't like the alternating years between the two leagues. "The tie" was not the reason. The reason was that the All-Star game ratings were falling. Players were losing interest... They had to do something to make it viable again... so they added this. And mostly, it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I voted "YES", but the All-Star Game will remain my favorite sporting event of the summer ... but what do I know? - I think Baseball should ALWAYS be played outdoors on grass :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't tell me that players lose interest in playing a game that they love, even if it is for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
