Trivia: What other event once determined home-field advantage in the World Series?
Home Run Derby
All-Star Game
World Baseball Classic
First game of season
Correct Answer: All-Star Game
So why is this answer correct? : From 2003 to 2016, the result of the MLB All-Star Game earned the winning league home-field advantage in the World Series. During those 14 years, the American League went 11-3 in the All-Star Game against the National League, skewing home field in the AL’s direction for many years. After the 2016 season, the format changed so that the better regular season record between the AL and NL pennant winners now determines the World Series home field.
