The 2022 Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be held on July 19 in Los Angeles. This is the second time the All-Star Game has been played at Dodger Stadium, which hosted the Midsummer Classic in 1980. Los Angeles hosted the All-Star Game at Memorial Coliseum in 1959, while Angel Stadium in Anaheim has hosted it three times (1967, 1989 and 2010).
As usual, the game pits the American League against the National League, with the previous season’s pennant-winning managers serving in the same role for their league. That is Astros Manager Dusty Baker leads the AL The brave ones Captain Brian Snitker leads the NL.
The full list was announced on Sunday night. Starters are voted on by fans, while reserves are filled through player voting and the commissioner’s office. Managers are no longer part of the process.
