LOS ANGELES — The All-Star Game has visited 37 different ballparks, including some more than once, since its last edition at Dodger Stadium. Ten of those sites have been razed, and three others no longer host Major League Baseball games. Chavez Ravine still glows.
That may be part of the problem, at least for hitters Tuesday evening. The National League’s Clayton Kershaw will take the mound in his home park to throw the first pitch to the American League’s Shohei Ohtani shortly after 5 p.m. local time — prime time for East Coast viewers, and for California shadows.
