Even though the NL will host the All Star Game for 3 straight years from 2015-17, the AL will bat last in 2016 and be the "home" team in San Diego. Manfred is basically taking a Super Bowl approach to it now and no longer considering NL/AL difference. Any city can bid for the All Star Game and the official home team will strictly alternate as it's the only potential competitive advantage.

He also sees no reason to get rid of the stipulation that the winning league gets home field advantage in the World Series. Even though it's an exhibition game that a shitload of players pull out of playing in.

Manfred sucks.
