List of Major League Baseball All-Star Games

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 24.166.175.146 (talk) at 21:35, 14 April 2009 (Potential future sites). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Seventy-nine Major League Baseball All-Star Games have been played since the first one in 1933, with the National League winning 40, and the American League winning 37, with two ties. (Interestingly, the official website MLB.com has incorrect tallies.)[1] The National League has the longest winning streak of 11 games from 1972-1982. The American League currently has a league-best 12-game unbeaten streak (including the tie in 2002), and has dominated the game since 1988 (losing only 3 times and tying 1). They previously dominated from 1933-1949, winning 12 of the first 16. The National League dominated from 1950-1987, winning 33 of 42 with 1 tie. This included a stretch from 1963-1982 when they won 19 of 20. There was no All-Star award for 'MVP' until 1962; Maury Wills won the inaugural award.

The 2008 game featured the longest All-Star Game by time: 4 hours 50 min., and tied for innings at 15 with the 1967 game.

Future sites

Confirmed

Although this would be its third All-Star Game, it would be the first in the latest configuration of Angel Stadium (following the remodeling after the Northridge earthquake). It is also the third configuration the game will have been hosted in; the 1967 game was played prior to the expansion of the park to the state it was in during the 1989 game.

Potential future sites

  • Kauffman Stadium, home of the Kansas City Royals, is supposed to host an MLB All-Star Game, its first since 1973, in one of the years between 2010-2014, likely 2012, as confirmed by commissioner Bud Selig.[4] If selected, Kauffman Stadium would be another departure from the trend of using the All-Star Game to showcase newer ballparks. Renovations to the stadium were completed in 2009.
  • The Boston Red Sox have asked MLB to consider allowing them to host the 2012 All Star Game in Fenway Park in commemoration for the centennial celebration of the ballpark. However, this is unlikely since they just hosted it in 1999.[5]
  • With New York and Los Angeles' American League teams hosting All-Star Games in 2008 and 2010, respectively, those cities' National League teams are both vying for the 2013 All-Star Game:
  • 2014 All-Star Game
    • According to MLB.com the new Minnesota Twins ballpark Target Field is hoping to be shown off four years after it opens.[8]
