what home-field advantage?
Oct. 21st, 2004 12:53 pmI don't get it.
Yes, the Red Sox get to play the first game of the WS at home. But they need to win at least 4 wins to win the series. Of the first 4 games, half are home and half are away. The 3rd and 4th games don't count any less than the 1st and 2nd.
If they win in 5 games, they will have won in spite of having more games away than at home. The only way series will contain more games at Fenway than away is if it stretches out to the full 7 games. Doesn't seem to me like the Red Sox got much of a prize on account of the All Star game.
