Major League Baseball announces that the 2028 MLB All-Star Game will be played at Oracle Park in San Francisco, home of the Giants. The game is scheduled for two years from now, and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred makes the announcement.
San Francisco last hosted the Midsummer Classic in 2007, making that event the most recent time the city has held the showcase. Multiple outlets note that Oracle Park will host the All-Star Game for the first time since 2007. Yahoo Sports also references the 2007 All-Star Game, including an inside-the-park home run by Ichiro Suzuki.
Outlets also differ slightly on how they describe the Giants’ hosting history. CBS Sports and The Athletic say San Francisco will host for the fourth time. Yahoo Sports likewise cites a fourth hosting total, listing 1961, 1984 and 2007. Fox Sports characterizes the Giants as hosting for six times in franchise history, reflecting different ways of counting past All-Star site and franchise hosting records.
