The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is an annual baseball game between players from both the American League and the National League. Fans vote for the starters, while the rest of the squad is selected by players and managers. The game is played in July and serves as the season's halfway mark. Since 2003, the game has also decided which league will have home-field advantage in the World Series at the end of the season.
On April 10, 2009, the league announced that the Arizona Diamondbacks would host the 2011 All-Star Game at their home field of Chase Field.CBSSports.com: Diamondbacks Chosen to Host 2011 All-Star Game
