2022 American baseball competition
The2022 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 92ndMajor League Baseball All-Star Game , held between theAmerican League (AL) and theNational League (NL) ofMajor League Baseball (MLB). The game was hosted by theLos Angeles Dodgers atDodger Stadium . The game was played on July 19,[ 1] broadcast nationally byFox ,Fox Deportes , andESPN Radio .
The American League defeated the National League 3–2, for its ninth straight All-Star Game win.[ 5] [ 6]
Coincidentally, the previous time Dodger Stadium hosted the game in 1980, that year's result gave the National League its ninth straight win as well.
The Dodgers were awarded the 2022 MLB All-Star Game after the2020 contest, which they were originally scheduled to host, was canceled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic in the United States .[ 7] This marked the first time in 42 years (and fourth time overall) that the Dodgers hosted an All-Star Game, the previous occurrences being in1949 atEbbets Field inBrooklyn (when the franchise played as theBrooklyn Dodgers ),1959 atLos Angeles Memorial Coliseum , and1980 at Dodger Stadium.[ 8]
The starting rosters for each league's position players plusdesignated hitter (DH) were determined by fan balloting, which was conducted in two phases. New in 2022, the first-phase top vote-getter for each league automatically received a spot in the starting lineup.[ 9] The top two vote-getters for every other non-pitching position and DH advanced to the second phase of voting. There are normally six finalists for the three outfield positions in each league, except when an outfielder is the top vote-getter, in which case there are four finalists for the remaining two outfield positions. Voting does not carry over between phases.[ 9]
First phase voting was held from June 8 through June 30, and second phase voting was held from July 5 through July 8. All voting was conducted online, atMLB.com or via the MLBapp . Starting players, as selected via voting, were announced on July 8.[ 10] Reserve position players and all pitchers—selected "via 'Player Ballot' choices and selections made by the Commissioner’s Office"—were announced on July 10. The final roster size of each team was planned to be 32 players.[ 9]
All-Star legacy selections [ edit ] MLB announced on July 8 thatAlbert Pujols andMiguel Cabrera had been added as the 33rd player for the NL and AL, respectively, in celebration of their career achievements. This was the 11th All-Star selection for Pujols and the 12th for Cabrera.[ 11]
The 2020 All-Star Game logo was shaped after the hexagonal DodgerVision video boards at Dodger Stadium, with gold-trimmed Art Deco lettering as a nod toHollywood . After MLB reassigned the Dodgers the 2022 game as compensation for the 2020 cancellation, the only change to the logo was the date.[ 12] Uniforms for the American League were in dark gray, while uniforms for the National League were in white. Team logos and letters were in gold with black trim. Caps were black featuring each team's logo in gold and black embellishments, along with a gold star.[ 13]
