MLB All Star Game Baseball Tickets

The 2011 Major League Baseball All Star game is right around the corner, and now is the perfect time to purchase MLB All Star Tickets from BroadRippleTickets.com. Set for Tuesday, July 12 in Phoenix, Arizona at Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, the 2011 All Star game will be the 82nd between the best players in the National League and the best players in the American League. Chase Field holds nearly 50,000 fans, and has a retractable roof, along with amenities such as a pool and a bar area in the outfield. The MLB All Star game appeals to casual fans and families, as well as baseball diehards and insiders, and is considered the crown jewel of All Star games. The starters for the teams are decided by fan voting, while the bench is typically filled by the manager. Each team must be represented at the event, which has led to some controversy in the past.

The managers for the 2011 MLB All Star game will be Ron Washington of the Texas Rangers in the American League, and Bruce Bochy of the San Francisco Giants in the National League. The winning team will earn home-field advantage in the World Series, so the stakes are significantly upped compared to All Star events in other sports. Prior to last season, the American League had won 12 consecutive All Star games, but that changed when the National League escaped with a 3-1 victory last season.

The actual All Star isn't the only thing that draws a crowd, as there are several other fan favorite events that take place over the couple days leading up to the game. There's the All-Star FanFest, which is billed as the world's largest interactive baseball fan event, and will be held at the Phoenix Convention Center July 8-12, and All-Star Sunday, which will feature the 2011 Futures Game, and the Legends & Celebrities Softball game. And of course, the night before the All Star game is the Home Run Derby, without a doubt the most popular Event of the weekend. If you want to attend any of the festivities, be sure to buy 2011 MLB All-Star Game Tickets from BroadRippleTickets.com today!
