SAN DIEGO -- Buster Posey openly aligns himself with the popular opinion that the outcome of the All-Star Game should not determine home-field advantage in the World Series. Yet he's not afraid to admit the significance of such consequences.
"It's really important," Posey said. "There's just no other way around it.
"I'm very appreciative that the All-Star Game means something, I just wish there was some other way we could make it mean something rather than deciding home-field advantage. For a team that works its tail off for eight months and maybe wins 100-plus games and doesn't get home-field advantage because of the All-Star Game, I wish it was different.
