Midsummer classic

Every year at the approximately the half way point of the baseball season the games best players gather for an All-Star Game.  The MLB All-Star game has been around since at least the 1920's making it the oldest and in mine and many other people's opinion the best of the four major sports.  Baseballs All-Star game while being an exhibition is generational, you can go back and look at when your grandparents saw Mickey Mantle play.  The Home Run Derby that goes with the game has gotten life pumped back into it with the timing of the rounds.  The  MLB got it right with there two days of fun.  This game should not count thought, giving the winner home field advantage in the World Series should not happen.  For the last thirteen years the managers of this game have been torn between trying to win and getting their league home field in the World Series or playing everybody.  The problem is they can't think of a better way to award home field, it used to alternate years.  This should be an exhibition where everyone on thee roster gets to play, a celebration of the first half of the season.
