It’s been 30 years since the Chicago Cubs hosted the MLB All-Star Game.
It’s hard to believe, but the Chicago Cubs have only hosted the MLB All-Star Game three times at Wrigley Field. They first hosted the Midsummer Classic in 1947, when the American League beat the National League, 2-1. They also hosted one of the two All-Star Games (a practice that lasted from 1959 to 1962) in 1962, as the AL again beat the NL, 9-4.
In 1990, Wrigley Field got its third opportunity to display MLB’s best and brightest when it again hosted the All-Star Game.
