The Orioles made a pitch to host the All-Star Game in Baltimore following Major League Baseball’s decision to move the contest out of Atlanta, the club said Monday.
Orioles officials also expressed interest in holding the game at Camden Yards in the future if MLB chooses another city this season, Jennifer Grondahl, an Orioles spokeswoman and senior vice president, told The Baltimore Sun.
The Orioles have been in touch with the league since its initial request, but the club said it would be premature to discuss those conversations, and MLB did not immediately respond to an inquiry about the game.
