Not totally against it. But I don't see the need for the change. He and his fellow old farts seem to think having the best record should be an automatic berth in the WS. They are one of the biggest problems in baseball. They want the game to be exactly the same as it was in their childhood. I don't want the playoffs to be a situation where a team is "owed" anything. Get out there & earn it. The best record already earns the right to start & end the series on their own home field. That should be plenty right there.
