Good or Bad? Getting Home Field Advantage for the World Series by Winning All Star Game

Since 2003, which ever league wins the All Star game gets home field advantage for the World Series. It's well known that home field advantage is more than just an advantage, it's more or less the deciding factor of who will win Game 7 of the World Series. The change has been long disputed between baseball enthusiasts. Some love it while others loathe it completely. Those who favor the change argue it makes the All Star game mean something, giving it a weighted value, inspiring the players to take the Mid-Summer Classic seriously. Those who oppose it see it 100 percent differently. 

I personally think it's horrible. It completely takes all the fun out of the All Star festivities. Isn't the whole point of the All Star Break to give the players much needed rest? Why take away their "mini-holiday" which is supposed to be a chance for them to just have fun and just play ball? With such a huge wager on the line it diminishes the fun factor.

There has to be a better way to determine home field advantage for the World Series. Why not give it to the team with the best record? Applying the same theory of those who favor the change, this would make the teams work extra hard for the best record. Of course, the whole point of the season is to have the best record to get to the World Series, but adding an extra bonus, such as home field advantage, could potentially make the teams work harder for it. This way, if a team that made it to the World Series as a wild card would not get home field advantage. The way it's decide know, potentially does give the wild card home field advantage, if their league won the All Star Game.
