Tell me a more fake ending to a baseball game

Personally, I think ties should just end like the ending of Mony Python and The Holy Grail...but to each their own...

The only reason I didn't hate having the ASG determine home field in the World Series is because it replaced having home field just alternate each year between National League and American League which was equally stupid. At least now it's based on which team has the best record.
