The2024 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 94thAll-Star Game ofMajor League Baseball (MLB). The game was played between theAmerican League (AL) and theNational League (NL) on July 16, 2024. The game was hosted by theTexas Rangers of the AL atGlobe Life Field inArlington, Texas.ManagerTorey Lovullo of theArizona Diamondbacks managed the NL team, while ManagerBruce Bochy of the Texas Rangers managed the AL team, continuing the tradition of having the previous year’s pennant-winning managers lead their respective leagues in the All-Star Game.[1] The game was broadcast nationally byFox,Fox Deportes, andESPN Radio.
TheTexas Rangers were awarded the game on November 17, 2022, by Major League Baseball CommissionerRob Manfred. This was the second time that the Rangers hosted an All-Star Game in franchise history, having previously done so in1995 at The Ballpark in Arlington, which was reconfigured and renamedChoctaw Stadium after the Rangers moved to Globe Life Field in2020. In addition, this was the first All-Star Game since1939 to be hosted by the reigningWorld Series champions.[2] This was in spite of Texas GovernorGreg Abbott saying in 2021 (after the 2021 game was moved from Atlanta due to a contentious voting law) that he would not be bidding for any future MLB events.
The starting rosters for each league's position players plusdesignated hitter (DH) were determined by fan balloting, which was conducted in two phases. Since 2022, the first-phase top vote-getter for each league automatically received a spot in the starting lineup. 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.[3]
First phase voting was held from June 5 through June 27, and second phase voting was held from June 30 through July 3. All voting was conducted online, atMLB.com or via the MLBapp. Starting players, as selected via voting, were announced on July 3. Reserve position players and all pitchers—selected "via 'Player Ballot' choices and selections made by the Commissioner’s Office"—was announced on July 7.[4]
The leading vote getter in each league during phase one wasAaron Judge of theNew York Yankees andBryce Harper of thePhiladelphia Phillies. Judge received the most votes during phase one with 3,425,309 votes.[5]
The 2024 All-Star Game logo featured imagery that represents the culture and pride of Texas. The typeface is based on the Rangers' current typography, and a five-point star in the middle of the words "ALL" and "STAR" symbolized Texas' nickname of the "Lone Star State". Within the logo is an outline of Texas along with illustrations that were symbols to Texas culture.[6][7]
The American League uniforms featured a sand base with coral red sleeves and light blue cuffs. Caps are in coral red with a sand front panel, featuring the team logo in front of coral red and light blue stripes leading to a silver star on the right. The National League uniforms featured a navy blue base with light blue sleeves and coral red cuffs. Caps are in light blue with a navy blue front panel, featuring the team logo in front of light blue and coral red stripes leading to a silver star on the right. Both uniforms featured the full league name in front, the player's team logo on the left sleeve, and the All-Star Game logo on the right sleeve.[8][9]
