The start of the Major League Baseball season has been postponed, and it could have ramifications for a number of baseball traditions, including the All-Star Game.

As Tim Brown and Hannah Keyser of Yahoo Sports reported Thursday, the Midsummer Classic could instead be played in the Fall during the postseason, taking a cue from the NFL and its timing of the Pro Bowl:

"A team official said he sees almost no scenarios in which the All-Star Game is played on the date it is scheduled. One alternative that's been discussed is setting the All-Star Game for an eventual day between the league championship series and the World Series, a showcase featuring players from all but the two remaining teams.
