"Major League Baseball is proud to bring the All-Star Game to Los Angeles and fans of the Dodgers in 2020," said Manfred. " As last year’s World Series demonstrated, Dodger Stadium remains one of our game’s classic ballparks, and it will be a perfect venue to showcase the very best of the National Pastime.  I congratulate the Dodgers organization and the leaders of Los Angeles on putting together an outstanding bid to host the All-Star festivities."

"We’ve made no secret that bringing an All-Star Game back to Los Angeles was a priority for our ownership group, and we couldn’t be more excited for Dodger fans and to showcase Dodger Stadium and Los Angeles to a worldwide audience in 2020," added Kasten. "We’d like to thank Commissioner Rob Manfred, Mayor Eric Garcetti and Councilmember Gil Cedillo for their efforts to secure this premier sporting event for our community, which will benefit from baseball’s legacy youth programs for years to come."

"There’s no feeling quite like watching your favorite players take the field at the ballpark — and we can’t wait to welcome baseball’s best to Los Angeles for the 2020 All-Star Game," said Mayor Garcetti. "Dodger Stadium is a perfect destination for this summer tradition, and I look forward to sharing our city with fans from all over the world."
