The 2015 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 86th edition of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The game was played at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, Ohio on Tuesday, July 14. It was televised nationally on Fox. The American League All-Stars defeated the National League All-Stars by a score of 6–3.
On January 21, 2013, then-Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Bud Selig, announced the 2015 All-Star Game would be hosted by the Cincinnati Reds. This was the fifth time the Reds had hosted, which at the time tied them with the Cleveland Guardians, San Francisco Giants, Minnesota Twins, and Pittsburgh Pirates for the most All-Star Games hosted by a single franchise. It was also the first time the city of Cincinnati had hosted the All-Star Game since the 1988 All-Star Game was played at Riverfront Stadium.[1]
On July 15, 2014, Selig also announced that Pete Rose would not be prohibited from participating in the 2015 All-Star Game ceremonies.[2] Rose was an All-Star for 13 of the 19 seasons he played on the Reds and was a member of the Big Red Machine. In 1991, Rose was permanently banned from MLB for baseball betting. Rose, wearing a red sport coat, appeared on the field in front of the pitcher's mound before the game and received a standing ovation alongside former teammates Johnny Bench, Barry Larkin, and Joe Morgan.
On May 12, 2015, the Reds announced that Todd Frazier would serve as the 2015 All-Star Game spokesperson.[3][4]
Mike Trout, an outfielder for the Los Angeles Angels, was named the All-Star Game Most Valuable Player for the second straight year.
