Vacuuming for Fan Fest in St. Louis

I like seeing what goes on behind the scenes at big events. I heard Dibs' and Jody's conversation with Brian Sabean this afternoon on Sirius XM Homeplate 175 re the home field advantage angle of the All Star Game. I agree with them it's become a bad idea, too costly for players and teams (last year's overuse of Brad Lidge and George Sherrill are examples--I didn't hear them say this today but it was discussed after last year's game). As they were saying, home field advantage is too important, managers don't get to choose the best team to do the job anyway. If, as they say, it's for the fans, it shouldn't be for World Series home field advantage.
