Nicknamed the Midsummer Classic, the date of MLB's All-Star Game changes from year to year.
The last time the game was played on the same date in two consecutive years was the fourth and fifth editions of the game back in 1936 and 1937. The date usually doesn't hold much significance.
But this year is different.
The 2025 Home Run Derby and All-Star Game will be held on July 14 and July 15, respectively, in Atlanta. If baseball fans write those dates numerically (7/14 and 7/15), they might quickly see a pair of numbers that hold a notable place in the sport's lore.
