2013 MLB All-Star Game

 

Tonight Major League Baseball's best athletes will head to Citi Field in Queens, New York City, home of the New York Mets on Tuesday, July 16th 2013.  This will be the 84th annual MLB All-Star Game.  the Mets have not hosted an All-Star Game since 1964, in their inaugural season at Shea Stadium.  Citi Field was completed as a replacement to Shea Stadium on March 29, 2009.

The exciting Home-Run Derby was hosted last night by David Wright, of the New York Mets and Robinson Cano, of the New York Yankees, making it even more exciting for local fans.  The AL and NL All-Star teams have been finalized in a live announcement last Saturday.  The starters were selected by the fans and the rest of the roster was decided by the players and All-Star managers.  Each team will be made up of 35 players, all 30 teams get at least one representative in the All-Star Game.  The events at Citi Field promise to be entertaining, and the always important home-field advantage in the World Series will be on the line.

The game scheduled for 8:00 pm will host the world's best baseball talent and should be a fun game to watch.  New York Mets starting pitcher, Matt Harvey will get the start for the National League Side!  How do you think he's going to match up against the big bats of the American League?
