MLB canceled the 2020 Al-Star Game.
This will be the first time since 1945 that no game will be held. Travel restrictions because of World War II kept the game scheduled for Boston’s Fenway Park and any player selections from taking place that year. It was pushed back to the next season.
The Dodgers hosted the only the Mid-Summer Classic in Dodger Stadium history in 1980, won 4-2 by the National League.

Next year’s event is scheduled for Atlanta, with the Dodgers likely to get the 2022 game.
I wonder how much consideration there was for 2 ASG’s in one season?
If Aaron, Mays, and Musial and co can do it, why not Today’s players?
It’s a good question. It would help make up for lost revenue.
