In July 2011, Major League Baseball All-Star Games' brightest stars are going to shine down on the 82nd MLB All-Star Game! This competition is expected to be exciting and entertaining! This year the venue for this event will be played from the first stadium built in the United States with a retractable roof, Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks to be exact.

For the next years to come the 2012 All-Star Game will be played at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, home of the Kansas City Royals; the New York Mets hope to host the 2013 MLB All-Star Game at their new ballpark Citi Park, opened in 2009, the Mets have not hosted this event since 1964, the longest drought in Major League Baseball All-Star history.

The Venues are chosen by a Major League Baseball selection committee and this is based on the opening of a new field or a historical occasion, like the Phillies are rumored to be holding out for the 2026 MLB All Star Game which would coincide with the 250th birthday of America.

The All-Star Game started with a man named Arch Ward, a sportswriter who invented the game as a one-time event for the 1933 World's Fair. Due to the success of the first game, it has been played annually ever since. Nowadays, the baseball sports betting fans and manager-selected players of the National and American Leagues play in a mid-season exhibition game and the results determine which league’s team gets home-field advantage in the World Series that year. Ward's contribution was recognized by MLB in 1962 with the creation of the "Arch Ward Trophy", given to the All-Star Game's most valuable player each year.
