MILWAUKEE - Major League Baseball is looking for a new location for this summer's All-Star Game, announcing Friday, April 2 that it was pulling out of Atlanta following a sweeping and controversial rewrite of Georgia's election laws.
Milwaukee leaders are already pitching the city as a replacement venue in light of MLB's decision. The way Mayor Tom Barrett sees it, American Family Field is a home run to host the mid-summer classic.
Two days into the season and it is dreams not of October baseball at American Family Field, but of mid-July -- July 13 to be exact -- for Barrett.
