Major League Baseball
All-Star Game
The 2012 Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be the 83rd midseason exhibition between the all-stars of the American League (AL) and the National League (NL). The game will be played on July 10, 2012, at Kauffman Stadium, the home of the American League Kansas City Royals.
"In All-Star Games the players are chosen by balloting. Millions of fans vote. It is Democracy at its most transcendent. All the voters get out of it is the loss of a three-cent stamp or a two-cent postal card. Dishonesty in counting the votes has never been charged." - Fred Schwed in
