January 21, 201313 yr Reds to get 2015 All-Star Game? Major League Baseball confirmed Monday that Commissioner Bud Selig will visit the Tri-State Wednesday to announce that the Queen City will be home to the MLB's newest Urban Youth Academy, an effort to revitalize inner-city baseball. The MLB's commitment includes a sizeable contribution to the project, one that dove-tails off of the Reds already well-established Community Fund efforts, something the MLB could be looking to reward the Reds for their activism with. In addition, considering how well the Reds handled the MLB's Civil Rights games in 2009 and 2010, there's been widespread assumption that the commissioner was inclined to look favorably upon bestowing baseball's even bigger showcase, the yet-to-be-assigned 2015 All-Star Game, on Cincinnati. It would be the city's first All-Star Game since 1988. Furthermore, why else would the MLB send Selig himself on-site to make the announcement? Nothing confirmed yet after multiple attempts to reach out to the MLB about the All-Star Game's home in 2015, but certainly worth paying close attention to Wednesday's visit from the commish.
January 21, 201313 yr I went to the All-Star workout back in 1988 & most of the day's festivities were rained out. Would be nice to see Cincinnati get this.
January 21, 201313 yr I would definitely go to everything they had to offer. If they announce this I will be there no doubt. I'm excited just thinking about it.
January 22, 201313 yr I guess I need to go ahead and buy that boat so that I can park in the river in right field!
