The Game of the Century

The 2020 All-Star game was scheduled for this coming Tuesday but (spoiler alert!) with Coronavirus, it has been canceled. This is only the second time an All-Star game has been canceled since its creation in 1933.

The only other All-Star game to be canceled was in 1945, which was affected due to World War II. Through all the strikes, baseball still managed to hold an All-Star game. In 1981, with the strike from mid-June through July that split the season into two, the All-Star game was rescheduled for August (and received record-low ratings!). The 1994-95 strike was well-timed as far as the ASG is concerned — those went off without a hitch.
