Everything about 2008 Major League Baseball All-star Game totally explained
The
2008 Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be the 79th midseason exhibition between the
all-stars of the
American League (AL) and the
National League (NL), the two leagues comprising
Major League Baseball. The game will be played on
July 15,
2008 at
Yankee Stadium in
The Bronx,
New York, home of the
New York Yankees of the American League.
Venue selection
The announcement of Yankee Stadium as the site of the game was made by MLB Commissioner
Bud Selig and New York City
Mayor Michael Bloomberg on
January 31,
2007 at New York's City Hall. Though it'll be the fourth game hosted at the Stadium, and the eighth held in
New York City, it'll be the first time since
1977 that the game was hosted by the Yankees or any New York team. It had been speculated for months that the game would be held in Yankee Stadium, accelerated by the announcement that the 2008 season will be the 84th and final one for the stadium before the team moves into the
New Yankee Stadium in 2009. Thus, it was seen by some as a fitting tribute to the old stadium that it host an All-Star Game in its final season.
Fan Balloting
Starters
Balloting for the 2008 All-Star Game starters (excluding pitchers) began on
April 29.
