The Dodgers unveiled their plans on Tuesday for the first All-Star Game in Chavez Ravine in 42 years, but why did some cities get it two to three times since then?
LOS ANGELES — It has been 42 years since the city of Los Angeles hosted baseball’s All-Star Game. That’s unconscionable.
Consider: Between the 1980 All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium – long enough ago that Ken Griffey Sr. was the game’s MVP – and this one, 28 franchises have hosted at least one All-Star Game. Nine, including the Angels, have hosted two.
“As you know, here in L.A., we are the city of big events and big parties, and that’s what we’re going to have in July, five days of a big, big event and a big, big party.” The Futures Game and All-Star celebrity softball game, which up to now have been held on the Sunday before the All-Star Game, will shift to Saturday. Shortstop Trea Turner talked of watching the celebrity softball game “to see who’s got a good swing or who can embarrass themselves a little bit,” but he’ll have to record it. While the All-Star activities will occupy Chavez Ravine, the Dodgers will be completing a two-game series against the Angels in Anaheim.
