DENVER - Atlanta, you’re out. Major League Baseball swiftly moved the All-Star Game to hitter-friendly Coors Field on Tuesday after pulling the Midsummer Classic from Atlanta over objections to extensive changes to Georgia’s voting laws. Coors Field last hosted the All-Star Game in 1998. The Los Angeles Dodgers will host the 2022 All-Star Game. Recently asked about Coors Field becoming the All-Star Game replacement site, Rockies pitcher Jon Gray chuckled and said: “The Home Run Derby would be legendary.”___Loading... Loading... Loading...
