Before you dismiss all this, remember these things about the finals under the current system:
- home field advantage in a possible seventh game includes home rule advantage: designated hitter (DH) or not
- fields are not uniform

- the players on the All Star teams are selected by the fans who are officially allowed to vote 25 times each.

College football has started, even before classes.  The NFL starts Thursday and has a full schedule next Sunday.  Baseball has ... its tournament.  Might as well have people pick brackets and win prizes.
