Major League Baseball All-Star Game

Il Major League Baseball All-Star Game, noto anche come Midsummer Classic (lett. "la classica di mezza estate"), è una partita di baseball che si tiene con cadenza annuale e vede come partecipanti i migliori giocatori della National League e dell'American League della MLB.

L'All-Star Game viene svolto di solito a metà luglio, in corrispondenza con la metà stagione della MLB. Dal 1933 al 2023 sono stati giocati 93 All-Star Game, che hanno visto: l'American League vincitrice di 47 partite, la National League di 44, e 2 pareggi (pioggia per la prima partita del 1961 e insufficienza di giocatori nel 2002).

L'edizione 1945 non è stata disputata a causa della seconda guerra mondiale.

Negli anni 1959-1962 sono state giocate due partite all'anno. Dal 1962 viene assegnato il premio come miglior giocatore (MVP).

La National League ha eseguito la più lunga serie di vittorie consecutive nella storia dell'MLB All-Star, vincendo ininterrottamente dal 1972 al 1982. L'American League detiene il record di squadra imbattuta per 13 edizioni consecutive dal 1997 al 2009 (incluso il pareggio del 2002).

L'edizione 2008 è stata la più lunga per durata con 4 ore e 50 minuti, pareggiando il record di 15 inning del 1967.

Nel 2020 l'All-Star Game non si è disputato per non interrompere una stagione già iniziata in ritardo a causa della Pandemia di Covid-19.
