That would be as stupid as the incredibly dumb shoot-out the NHL uses to break ties or what the Double A Eastern League did at their recent All-Star Game and used a Home Run Derby to break a tie. It is no big sin for a game to end a tie, like the NHL did before they brought back OT in 1983. In fact, they should get rid of the shoot-out and bring back OT to what it was before WWII: full strength for ten minutes, and if it still ends in a tie, then so be it.
I just hope that MLB never resorts to a Home Run Derby to break a tie for regular season games/All-Star Game/playoffs/World Series. We should take a cue from the Japanese leagues and have it declared a tie after either three hours of actual playing time or 15 innings, whichever comes first. Are you listening, Rob Manfred?
