...that is interesting for people who actually want to know about hosting <br>the All Star games and World Series.<br><br>The venue is chosen by Major League Baseball and traditionally alternates <br>between the two leagues every year. (This tradition will be broken in <br>2007, when the San Francisco Giants will be the host for the 2007 All-Star <br>Game. Pittsburgh Pirates will host the 2006 event.) The "home team" is the <br>league in which the host franchise plays its games. The criteria for <br>choosing the venue are subjective. For the most part, cities with new <br>parks and cities who have not hosted the game in a long time tend to get <br>the nod.
