Fans heading to Truist Park for All‑Star Night should arrive early, pack light and tune in to FOX at 8 p.m. ET for what promises to be an entertaining showcase of baseball's top talent.
The backstory:
Atlanta had been awarded the 2021 All-Star Game in May 2019, but MLB moved it in April 2021, just three months before the game was played.
Critics complained in 2021 that the voting rights changes in Georgia were too restrictive. Commissioner Rob Manfred made the decision to move the All-Star events and the amateur draft from Atlanta after discussions with individual players and the Players Alliance, an organization of Black players formed after the death of George Floyd in 2020.
While there was no change to that law, the league decided to bring the game back to Atlanta in 2025.
This will be the third time Atlanta has hosted the All-Star Game but the first at Truist Park.
