So what about 2008???

--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

That will likely go to Yankee Stadium(seeing that 2008 will be the last year for the ole' park).

Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends. Sounds like something from a Rocky & Bullwinkle story arc.

Its gonna be humid as hell! At least its in a more open park than when they had it last time. Hopefully there will be a breeze that night. Trust me, it gets HOT in Missouri during the summer, and not just hot, but the sticky, humid, heat. I'll be watching from my comfortable climate controlled house.

Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool

As much as I hate the Yanks it should be a great way to usher out the most historic stadium in baseball's history.

As for St. Louis, they should get a All-Star game, but not this soon. It only opened last year, did they forget about Arizona, San Diego, Philly, & Cincy.

Arizona has never had the MLB all-star game.

St. Louis last had the game in 1966.

Cincinnati last had the game in 1988.

San Diego last had the game in 1992.

Philadelphia last had the game in 1996 (25 years of Veterans Stadium! Yay!)

Since St. Louis last hosted, and before 2009 the following cities will have hosted more than once:

Anaheim - 1967 & 1989 at Anaheim Stadium

Houston - 1968 & 1986 at the Astrodome, 2004 at Minute Maid Park (I suppose they're due again in 2022?)

Cincinnati: 1970 & 1988 at Riverfront

Detroit: 1971 @ Tiger Stadium, 2005 @ Comerica

Atlanta: 1972 @ Fulton County, 2000 @ The Ted

Pittsburgh: 1974 & 1994 @ Three Rivers, 2006 @ PNC

Milwaukee: 1975 @ County Stadium, 2002 @ Miller Park

Philadelphia: 1976 & 1996 at the Vet

San Diego: 1978 & 1992

Seattle: 1979 @ the Kingdome, 2001 @ Safeco

Cleveland: 1981 at old Municipal Stadium, 1997 @ Jacobs Field

Chicago: 1983 @ Comiskey, 1990 @ Wrigley, 2003 @ US Cellular

San Francisco: 1984 @ Candlestick, 2007 @ AT&T

Even with all this wonderful information, I would have tried to accomodate the D-Backs before the Cardinals, but that's just me.

Tampa Bay and Florida have never hosted the all-star game, either.

Shoot - they should start playing two all-star games again just to get all these new stadiums an all-star game before they get knocked down!

What is Citizens Bank Park or Great American Ball Park too out of date now, just skip them and go on to even newer park.

The Phils should honestly wait until 2026 for the All-Star Game to reach Philly. The 2026 game really should be there, for obvious reasons.

Well, the Cardinals are more important than the D-Bags.

Tampa Bay and Florida have never hosted the all-star game, either.

And they never will if they're still playing in warehouses and football fields.

St. Louis without a doubt deserves to host 2009. Its been over 40 years.

Philly and San Diego will have to wait they have hosted 2 in the last 31 years.

I have been one record as stating this before a team should have to wait 20 years to host again.

Yeah, our last all-star game was the opening season of Busch II for god's sake! I'd say it's time. I'm willing to wager the Mets have the 2011 game since they haven't hosted since '64.

nah, imma put my money on Arizona... AGAIN,
