MLB All-Star Week

Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star Week, also known as the All-Star Break, is a stretch of five days in July when baseball’s finest players gather to contest the annual MLB All-Star Game (also known as the Midsummer Classic).

With nothing at stake but pride and fun, baseball fans fly into the host city from all over the nation to enjoy the big game, its accompanying events, and the surrounding festivities (parties, tailgating, etc.) and see another side of their favorite players.

Which players will be playing in the 2024 MLB All-Star Game?

Let the arguments begin! The only thing baseball fans seem to love more than the MLB All-Star Game itself is arguing with one another (both in person and online) about who should be selected for the All-Star teams. One thing is for sure: Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers will be there. While not able to pitch this year as he recovers from elbow surgery, Ohtani has been absolutely destroying from the batter’s box for his new team and he is a fan favorite who draws people to ballparks around the nation. Ex-teammate Mike Trout (Los Angeles Angels) is a perennial All-Star too, while current teammates shortstop Mookie Betts (Los Angeles Dodgers) and right fielder Teoscar Hernandez (Los Angeles Dodgers) seem likely to be at the game too. The 2023 edition also saw 33 first time All-Stars announced and while 2024 might not see quite so many, players like shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (Kansas City Royals), pitcher Logan Webb (San Francisco Giants), first baseman Christian Walker (Arizona Diamondbacks), catcher Cal Raleigh (Seattle Mariners), and pitcher Eury Pérez (Miami Marlins) have all made strong cases for their inclusion with their performances so far this season.

MLB All-Star Game History

The MLB All-Star Game was really the first of its kind in professional sports, setting a blueprint for other leagues such as the NBA, NHL, and even NFL (with its Pro Bowl) to follow suit. Charity games designed to raise money for families of players who died had long been held from the early years of the 1900s, leading eventually to the very first MLB All-Star Game in 1933, which was part of the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair. The MLB All-Star Game has been held annually (and even bi-annually for a few years in the 1960s) ever since, apart from 1945 and 2020. The 2024 MLB All-Star Game will be the 94th edition of the game. The American League currently leads the National League all time with 47 wins to 44. Get your tickets from TicketX and be there in person to witness baseball history being made!
