You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The team whose league wins the year's All-Star Game gets home field advantage, and hosts the first two games of that year's World Series. (The next three games are at the other team's ballpark, in this case Citizen's Bank Park in Philadelphia; then the Series returns to Yankee Stadium.)

That's been the rule since mutual agreement before the 2003 season between the owners and the players union. Before then, the leagues alternated home-field advantage.

The winner of the year's All-Star game gets home field advantage in the playoffs. Since the American League won that game, the Yankees get 4 of the 7 scheduled games in New York. Games 1,2 and 6,7 if 6 and 7 are necessary.

Bud selig decides that which ever league wins the All Star Game, the team that goes to the World Series representing that league will get the home field advantage. And the American League won it this year. Therefore the Yankees got the home field advantage.

Winner of the all-star game. MLB decided to do this to offset the fact of a non-competitive all star game. The league put this into effect in 2007 and has been greatly beneficial to A.L. teams.

Bud Selig, MLB's commissioner, has come under a lot of fire for this rule change in 2003. Whichever league wins the all-star game, they get home field advantage...
