Remember Bud Selig and hotel rooms?
To refresh your memory, that’s the reason we had “This Time It Counts,” World Series home field decided by the result of the All-Star Gam from 2003-16. Bud was worried about hotel rooms. No, really:
We can’t wait until September 30th or October 1st to determine where the World Series is going to be played. You have thousands of hotel rooms to book and a lot of other things and right now we take a chance. But at least you know it’s going to be in a league and our people can work on that.
