Its official: the 2021 Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be held at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. On July 13th, the National and American League All-Stars will take the field in Denver for the first time since 1998, in front of what will hopefully be a roaring full-capacity crowd.

A lot has changed for both the league and the Rockies in the 23 years since Coors Field last played host to Major League Baseball’s Midsummer Classic. For starters, the Montréal Expos no longer exist, shipped out to Washington, D.C. following the 2004 season. Then-new-Commissioner Bud Selig has since retired and given way to now-Commissioner Rob Manfred. Divisions have shifted around. The Astros are an American League team. There was a major crackdown on the use of performance enhancing drugs with 2007’s Mitchell Report, leading to the end of the controversial “steroid era” of baseball.
