The Great Baseball Escape: How the 2021 All-Star Game Took a Hike from Atlanta

Buckle up, baseball fans (and casual observers who enjoy a good relocation story), because we're about to dive into the curious case of the fugitive All-Star Game.

Georgia on My Mind... Not Quite
The plan? A classic All-Star extravaganza at the shiny new Truist Park in Atlanta. But then, plot twist! The Georgia state legislature passed a new voting law that raised eyebrows (and voter ID cards) across the nation. Critics argued the law disproportionately impacted minority voters.
Baseball Says "Nope!"
Enter Major League Baseball, Commissioner Rob Manfred at the helm. Now, Manfred isn't exactly known for his Jackie Robinson-esque activism, but in this case, he decided to take a stand. "We fundamentally support voting rights for all Americans," he declared, flexing his metaphorical Commissioner muscles. The result? The All-Star Game was outta there! Like a rogue hot dog vendor fleeing security, the game hightailed it out of Atlanta.
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
The New All-Star Abode: Denver Takes the Stage (Well, Coors Field Does)
So, where did America's mid-summer baseball celebration end up? None other than Denver, Colorado! Coors Field, known for its high altitude and home runs that seem to defy the laws of physics, became the unlikely host.
The players? Well, let's just say some were surprised. Shohei Ohtani, the Japanese baseball unicorn who can both pitch and hit like a dream, probably wasn't packing his parka for a Georgia summer. But hey, Denver did serve up some epic mountain views, so there's that.
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
