Major League Baseball All-Star Game

The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is an annual exhibition baseball game between the best players from the National League and the American League. The All-Star Game usually occurs in early to mid-July and marks the symbolic halfway point in the Major League Baseball (MLB) season.

Future schedule host teams

Among the cities in the running for 2008's All-Star Game are St. Louis, San Diego, Cincinnati, Anaheim (whose stadium was so completely transformed in the late 90's and early 2000's that some people almost consider it a whole new entity). Phoenix, Washington, and Tampa Bay are also possibilities. The Minnesota Twins are also contenders, as they have plans to construct a new stadium by 2008. Comissioner Selig said during the 2005 All-Star Break that the 2008 game will definitely go to an American League city. This would seem to eliminate Arizona, Washington, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and San Diego.
