The 2021 MLB All-Star Game is coming to Colorado.

Just days after Major League Baseball decided to move the game out of Georgia, a league source says MLB is expected to announce the game will be moved to Denver this July.

The All-Star Game was last played in Denver in the summer of 1998.

1. I don't believe it.

Bang Bang Barbie will ask everyone attending to be armed.

[hlthe2b]

2. She's got no power in Colorado--outside her damned bar.

Fortunately...

[Crunchy Frog]

3. Yay. Wish I was still living there so I could go.

15. I wish I was still living there so I could get get high.

[Crunchy Frog]

16. Not my thing personally, but I really miss the mountains.

[rickyhall]

17. That, too. I have fond memories of Florence when I was a little kid.

28. Our mail in ballot system is flawless.

Other places could use it as an example if they wanted to.

[efhmc]

5. Someone can correct me but I think Colorado has had vote by mail for about 10 years.

[hlthe2b]

7. Since 2013

[efhmc]

8. Wasn't off by much. The only voter fraud that I have even seen reported from there was a GQPer

filling in his ex-wife's ballot. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-colorado-voterfraud/ex-head-of-colorado-republicans-charged-with-voter-fraud-idUSKBN16T37X What a surprise.

[bluestarone]

21. I wish the MSM would show MORE of this!

IF there is election fraud, it was done by QTHUGS! We need to see it EVERYDAY!

[Under The Radar]

6. Is Joe up to throwing out the first pitch?

[FakeNoose]

9. Damn! It coulda-shoulda been in Pittsburgh this year

[StevieM]

14. I think PNC Park is the nicest stadium in all of baseball.

But the All Star Game was held there in 2006. That is more recent then they like. They are trying to give each MLB a turn. Coors Field last hosted the MLB All Star Game in 1998.

PNC Park will probably get the game again in the 2030s.

[FakeNoose]

18. You're right of course, it's not our turn

... but we were hoping anyway.

It's hard for me to compare PNC Park because I've only seen maybe 5 or 6 other baseball stadiums/parks. However ours is very nice and it has a great location.

10. Go Denver...an up and coming much more dem friendly state

[gldstwmn]

27. Shh... we don't need anyone else moving here.

[Cha]

11. Not "suppressing Votes"

in Colorado!

[monkeyman1]

12. damn , that's the best damn new's in 4 years !!! fuck kemp royally !!!

[world wide wally]

13. Colorado has democracy

[bullwinkle428]

19. New Republican plan : "CANCEL DENVER"

[hlthe2b]

24. We have more "14-teeners" than any other state. Maybe we should take advantage....

[gldstwmn]

29. Three of which are visible on any given day in Denver and

one I can see from my window right now. Long's, Mount Evans and Pikes.

[MichMan]

20. Atlanta- 51% Black, 41% White... Denver 9% Black, 76% White

[hlthe2b]

23. Colorado doesn't suppress the votes of POC and Latinos are the most rapidly increasing population.

Like Atlanta, Denver has a black mayor, albeit Keisha is a lot more "on the ball," but unlike Georgia, Colorado has one hell of a lot more transparency in state government. So, your point?

[MichMan]

25. Why move the game to a city that is less diverse than the one it is being taken from?

[hlthe2b]

26. Two words: "DEMOCRACY and EQUALITY"

What part of that do you not get? The city may not be as diverse as some, but the population is a lot more democratic and far less racist-- as shown by its democratic growth in recent decades and its disavowal of racist figures of the past, including historical governors and others who abused Native Americans or fought for segregation--or were sympathetic to the confederacy. A city that rallied behind its BLM demonstrations--not one trying to criminalize democratic protests.

Not to mention, Denver was DUE. Has not hosted since 1998. AND, Denver is 32% Hispanic. While I agree with the importance of diversity and agree that AA makes up a comparatively small percentage of the population in Colorado (10.2% in Denver), but diversity is not ONLY about African American minorities.

[gldstwmn]

30. Mayors Webb and Pena

were pretty good too. So was Hick. Colorado has come along way in the four decades I have lived here

31. The MAGAs that follow FAUX snooze are saying CO has tougher voting laws than GA

CO has voter ID they say and also bringing up the 'Whiter" state. They are shitting all over themselves in order to make it look like a mistake for the Dems.

Good luck with that, idiots.

[hlthe2b]

32. 100% by mail voting since '13, SAME DAY REGISTRATION, extended in-person early voting,

in-person secured drop boxes distributed throughout, most or all counties increasingly providing postage-free ballots (at least on this most recent April ballot).

Yeah, tell me something more, a'holes. Denver may only have 10.2% AA, but, like CO in general, has a rapidly growing Hispanic population that already makes up 32% of Denver's population. So, I DO call that diverse and sizeable (and growing) population with respect to POC.
