This will be the fourth time the Giants have hosted the All-Star Game, including contests at Candlestick Park in 1961 and 1984.

In the 2007 showcase at Oracle Park, Seattle Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki hit the first inside-the-park home run in All-Star history and was named MVP of the American League’s 5-4 win. It was the 14th and final All-Star Game for Giants slugger Barry Bonds, whose godfather and fellow franchise icon Willie Mays was honored before the game.

“The San Francisco Giants are incredibly honored to host the 2028 MLB All-Star Game at Oracle Park,” team president and CEO Larry Baer said in a release.
