Predicting Who Will Host the 2019 MLB All-Star Game

August 17, 2015 By Tom Nagel 24 Comments

With the 2015 All-Star Game behind us, attention has turned to San Diego, where the Padres will play host to the 2016 game. Following that will be the 2017 game in Miami and the 2018 game in Washington, D.C.  But who will host the 2019 All-Star Game?

Many factors are considered when making this decision, not least of which is how long it has been since a team hosted the game.  The five teams that have gone the longest without hosting the All-Star Game, with the Los Angeles Dodgers having the longest drought by far, having most recently hosted in 1980. After that, it’s the Oakland Athletics (1987), the Chicago Cubs (1990), the Toronto Blue Jays (1991), and the Baltimore Orioles (1993), whose Oriole Park at Camden Yards started the recent wave of new, retro-themed ballparks.  The Tampa Bay Rays have never hosted, although they didn’t begin play until 1998.
