The 95th Major League Baseball All-Star Game will take place tonight at Truist Field in Atlanta, Georgia. The pomp and circumstance has been alive and well in Georgia since Friday with events like the HBCU Swingman Classic, the Celebrity Softball Game, and of course the Home Run Derby last night. Tonight’s Midsummer Classic features nineteen first-time All-Stars, including a rookie starting shortstop who we all know and admire.
The Athletics have two representatives this year, one starter and one substitute. Starting for the first time ever is A’s rookie Shortstop Jacob Wilson.
