MLB fans, it’s almost time for the Mid-Summer Classic. MLB All-Star Week heads to Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, beginning on Friday, July 12 with the HBCU Swingman Classic, and culminating with the 94th MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday, July 16. The American League, led this year by Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Toronto Blue Jays, will look to bounce back after last year’s loss to the National League. The NL roster is headlined by Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies. But before the NL and AL square off, there’s a packed week of MLB events you can’t miss, including the All-Star Futures Game, the Celebrity Softball Game, and the Home Run Derby.
