DENVER -- Hours before baseball's All-Star Game at Denver's Coors Field, commissioner Rob Manfred wouldn't say whether he would rule out any events in Texas if a law is adopted changing election laws there.
The game on Tuesday night was awarded to Atlanta and what then was called SunTrust Park on May 2019. Manfred moved it in April from the renamed Truist Park because of a Georgia voting law that critics say will negatively affect communities of color. His decision generally was denounced by conservatives and praised by liberals.
"I think the decision with respect to Atlanta was probably the hardest thing I've been asked to do so far," Manfred told the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Tuesday.
