This was an exhibition game! Where is the value of extra innings in an exhibition game?
The biggest mistake was the overreaction Selig had when the ASG in Milwaukee ended in a tie.
Now, I think you're overreacting by suggesting this is anything more than a way to settle the All-Star game for which the win only impacts bragging rights.
Full Disclosure: since the game doesn't matter, I would end it after 9 innings and if it's tied, I'd let it end in a tie.
