On today's episode we talk about the upcoming 2022 MLB All-Star Game, which will take place July 19, in Los Angeles. This will be the second time an All-Star Game is played at Dodger Stadium, as it also hosted the Midsummer Classic in 1980. The rosters for the 2022 edition have been released and the starters were voted in by fans, while the reserves were filled in via player ballot and the commissioner's office. As usual, the game will pit the American League against the National League, with the previous season's pennant-winning managers serving in the same role for their league. That means Astros manager Dusty Baker helms the AL while Braves skipper Brian Snitker leads the NL. Here we run down each league's starting roster and give our takes on each of the selections... This episode is JAMMED PACKED with all things baseball, so if you like baseball, you're going to want to watch this episode. Give us your All-Star Winners, Home Run Derby King, and Number 1 Pick in the 2022 MLB Draft. We want to hear them all!

The first MLB All-Star Game was in 1933.  Yet it is little-known amongst even big baseball fans that because Black players were not allowed in MLB, the Negro Leagues had their own All-Star Games also beginning in 1933.   And these games were both popular and well-attended. We take a look at how the All-Star game in MLB has changed over the years and with Gary Livacari's help (you can check out his old-time baseball photos page on FB and his blog baseballhistorycomesalive.com), we dig into some of the more interesting aspects of the E-W ASG games as well as some famous MLB ASG moments.
