Major League Baseball All-Star Game
Van Wikipedia
De Major League Baseball All-Star Game, ook wel bekend onder de naam "Midsummer Classic" of "Midsummer Night Classic", is een honkbalwedstrijd tussen de beste speler van de National League en de American League. De wedstrijd vindt meestal plaats midden juli. Het symboliseert het midden van de Major League Baseball. Wiskundig gezien is dit niet het echte midden van het seizoen, maar ongeveer 55%.
De eerste All-Star wedstrijd werd gehouden in Chicago, Illinois in het jaar 1933.

Meestal is het zo dat de Leagues om en om de wedstrijd organiseren (ene jaar een NL club andere jaar een AL club). Deze traditie is het eerst gebroken in toen Detroit Tigers de wedstrijd kregen aangewezen. In 2007 zal de traditie weer gebroken worden, want dan hebben de San Francisco Giants (NL) de wedstrijd. Het jaar daarvoor hadden de Pittsburgh Pirates (NL) hem.
[bewerk] Trivia
- In 1945 werd de wedstrijd geannuleerd, omdat er niet gereisd mocht worden.
- Er waren tussen 1959 en 1962 twee All-Star wedstrijden. De tweede was om geld in te zamelen voor het pensioenfonds van de spelers.
- Van de achtien spelers die in 1934 startten staat er maar één niet in de Baseball Hall of Fame: Wally Berger
- De wedstrijd van 1981 is de enige wedstrijd die in het weekend is gehouden
