NEW YORK -- The Midsummer Classic is coming to the Lone Star State.
Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred announced Thursday the Texas Rangers will host the All-Star Game in 2024, marking the second time the franchise will host the festivities. The team previously held the 1995 All-Star Game, but the 2024 event will be the first at Globe Life Field, which opened in 2020.
"The Rangers stepped up under difficult circumstances and Globe Life Field served as terrific host for the 2020 Postseason, including the World Series," Manfred said in a statement. "We are excited to once again feature Baseball's newest ballpark on a global stage next summer.
