The 2024 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, presented by Mastercard, was the 94th All-Star Game of Major League Baseball (MLB). The game was played between the American League (AL) and the National League (NL) on July 16, 2024. The game was hosted by the Texas Rangers of the AL at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Manager Torey Lovullo of the Arizona Diamondbacks managed the NL team, while Manager Bruce Bochy of the Texas Rangers managed the AL team, continuing the tradition of having the previous year’s pennant-winning managers lead their respective leagues in the All-Star Game. [1] The game was broadcast nationally by Fox, Fox Deportes, and ESPN Radio.

The AL defeated the NL 5–3.

Background

Host selection

The Texas Rangers were awarded the game on November 17, 2022 by Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred. This was the second time that the Rangers hosted an All-Star Game in franchise history, having previously done so in 1995 at The Ballpark in Arlington, which was reconfigured and renamed Choctaw Stadium after the Rangers moved to Globe Life Field in 2020. In addition, this was the first All-Star Game since 1939 to be hosted by the reigning World Series champions. [2]

Roster selections

The starting rosters for each league's position players plus designated hitter (DH) were determined by fan balloting, which was conducted in two phases. Since 2022, the first-phase top vote-getter for each league automatically received a spot in the starting lineup. The top two vote-getters for every other non-pitching position and DH advanced to the second phase of voting. There are normally six finalists for the three outfield positions in each league, except when an outfielder is the top vote-getter, in which case there are four finalists for the remaining two outfield positions. Voting does not carry over between phases. [3]

First phase voting was held from June 5 through June 27, and second phase voting was held from June 30 through July 3. All voting was conducted online, at MLB.com or via the MLB app. Starting players, as selected via voting, were announced on July 3. Reserve position players and all pitchers—selected "via 'Player Ballot' choices and selections made by the Commissioner’s Office"—was announced on July 7. [4]

The leading vote getter in each league during phase one was Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies. Judge received the most votes during phase one with 3,425,309 votes. [5]

Logo and uniforms

The 2024 All-Star Game logo featured imagery that represents the culture and pride of Texas. The typeface is based on the Rangers' current typography, and a five-point star in the middle of the words "ALL" and "STAR" symbolized Texas' nickname of the "Lone Star State". Within the logo is an outline of Texas along with illustrations that were symbols to Texas culture. [6] [7]

The American League uniforms featured a sand base with coral red sleeves and light blue cuffs. Caps are in coral red with a sand front panel, featuring the team logo in front of coral red and light blue stripes leading to a silver star on the right. The National League uniforms featured a navy blue base with light blue sleeves and coral red cuffs. Caps are in light blue with a navy blue front panel, featuring the team logo in front of light blue and coral red stripes leading to a silver star on the right. Both uniforms featured the full league name in front, the player's team logo on the left sleeve, and the All-Star Game logo on the right sleeve. [8] [9]
