During the All-Star break, there could be other Home Run Derbys.
According to Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com, the All-Star Game will be decided by a home run derby.
The team with the most long balls after they all take three swings will win the game.
Bud Selig implemented a rule that the winner of the exhibition contest would have home field advantage in the World Series after the American and National Leagues tied in 2002.
The rule change was due to the fact that both sides ran out of pitchers in the 7-7 draw.
The home-field advantage rule was eliminated by the new collective bargaining agreement and the team with the best regular-season record gets an advantage in the Fall Classic.
In the last three years, the All-Star Game has gone 15 and 10 minutes. Since the 2002 tie, the AL has won all but one contest.

Ronald Blum of the Associated Press reported in March that a temporary agreement had been reached between the league and players association to use a tiebreaking method in the home run derby.
