A second Home Run Derby to determine the winner of the MLB All-Star Game would be even better.

If the game is tied after nine frames, Major League Baseball could change the way it decides the game.

The All-Star Game and Home Run Derby are included in theTentative Agreement signed by MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Association on Thursday.

The All-Star Game will be decided by a Home Run Derby if the game remains tied after nine frames, subject to the parties agreeing on details and format.

The winner of the 2002 All-Star Game will have home-field advantage in the World Series.

Home-field advantage for the Fall Classic was taken out of the previous collective bargaining agreement between MLB and the players association.

Since then, there have been three All-Star Games. The American League walked it off against the National League at Yankee Stadium in 2008 on a sacrifice fly by Michael Young.

Robinson Cano hit a go-ahead home run in the 10th to help the American League win the game.

The NL was defeated by the American League 8-6) one year later.

Fans could find out how the Home Run Derby would work as soon as this year.

The All-Star Game will be held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in 2022. Los Angeles was going to host the 2020 game, but it was canceled because of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
