The All Star Game of course pits the best players, as voted by fans, of the National League against the American League. The 2011 edition of the All Star Game goes down at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona. This is the first time the Arizona Diamondbacks have hosted the All Star Game. The game takes place on July 12, 2011. One interesting twist for this year’s contest is that the Designated Hitter will be used in the game, makring the first time a DH will be used in an NL stadium.
All Star Game and AZ’s Immigration law
It looks like MLB will not be listening to the Daily News and other critics who urged MLB to move the game to protest Arizona’s controversial immigration bill SB1070, which was signed into law by Governor Jan Brewer on April 23, 2010. Bud Selig said the game would be played in Arizona, declining to discuss the fact that Ozzie Guillen, MLB’s Players Association and Rep. Jose Serrano, the Democrat from New York who represents the district holding Yankee Stadium have all condemned the law.
