I mean I guess people seem to like it so who am I to judge it, but I want to watch my team play big games.
Would probably still need some sort of break just because of how long the season is. Agree about MLB should probably get rid of who gets home field for the World Series as a stip. Probably wouldn't have happened if Selig didn't panic when his former team had a miserable ending to their All-Star game.

If any sport would really benefit without an actual all-star game, it would be the NFL. Pretty much a very watered down version of regular games except happens after the season is over and most players not caring besides the extra pay check for gettign named an all-star.
