In April of 2018, the Los Angeles Dodgers were awarded the 2020 MLB All-Star Game in what would mark the 40th anniversary since the event was last held at Dodger Stadium. In preparation for the Midsummer Classic, the team unveiled a renovation project to upgrade the pavilion and Chavez Ravine as a whole.
Unfortunately, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic led to the cancellation of last year’s All-Star Game and the Dodgers were given the 2022 event in its place. First came this year’s exhibition, which saw skipper Dave Roberts managing the National League for a third time.
