For baseball fans, all eyes will be on Los Angeles in July as Major League Baseball comes to town. On Tuesday, July 14, LA's Dodger Stadium plays host to the 2020 edition of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game — the highlight of the mid-summer sports calendar. The players will battle it out on Tuesday night, but the festivities start on July 12, with the 2016 MLB All-Star Sunday. This includes the All-Star Legends and Celebrity Softball Game and the All-Star Futures Game. The annual All-Star Futures Game showcases up-and-coming players from the minor leagues in the United States and countries around the world.
