The 2020 MLB All-Star Game would have taken place this week, if it hadn’t been canceled by the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, we’re taking a look back through the history of the Oakland A’s at the Midsummer Classic.
The A’s have hosted the All-Star Game three times, once in each of the cities they’ve called home. Shibe Park in Philadelphia was the venue in 1943, Municipal Stadium in Kansas City held the action in 1960, and the game was played at the Oakland Coliseum on July 14, 1987.
In 52 seasons in Oakland, ‘87 is the only time the A’s have hosted the All-Stars.
