DENVER (AP) — Debates about right and left at the All-Star Game used to deal with pitchers or perhaps batting orders. “Commissioner Rob Manfred moved the All-Star Game from Atlanta, parroting dishonest, partisan talking points,” said a commercial by the Consumers’ Research, a conservative group. It was to be the third All-Star Game in Atlanta following 1972 at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium and 2000 at Turner Field, the former 1996 Olympic Stadium that was the Braves’ home from 1997-2016. Last year’s All-Star Game was to have been at Dodger Stadium but was canceled because the coronavirus pandemic caused MLB to delay opening day until July 23. Loading... Loading... Loading...
