The wait for the Los Angeles Dodgers to host an MLB All-Star Game will stretch another two years as the league announced this year’s exhibition was cancelled. As a result the Dodgers were awarded the 2022 All-Star Game.
“Once it became clear we were unable to hold this year’s All-Star festivities, we wanted to award the Dodgers with the next available All-Star Game, which is 2022,” MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement.
“I want to thank the Dodgers organization and the City of Los Angeles for being collaborative partners in the early stages of All-Star preparation and for being patient and understanding in navigating the uncertainty created by the pandemic.
