Aug. 14 (UPI) -- San Francisco will host the 2028 MLB All-Star Game, commissioner Rob Manfred announced Friday.
The San Francisco Giants last hosted the Midsummer Classic in 2007 at AT&T Stadium, now known as Oracle Park, on the coast of San Francisco Bay.
"With its passionate fanbase, world-class ballpark, and rich baseball history, San Francisco will be an outstanding host for All-Star Week, which culminates in one of Major League Baseball's best traditions, the Midsummer Classic," Manfred said in a statement.

The 2027 MLB All-Star Game will be held at Wrigley Field, the home of the Chicago Cubs.
"The San Francisco Giants are incredibly honored to host the 2028 MLB All-Star Game at Oracle Park," Giants president and CEO Larry Baer said. "We're thrilled to welcome the baseball world to San Francisco and showcase our city, our organization and our incredible fans.
