The 2013 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 84th edition of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. It was held on Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at Citi Field in Queens, New York City, the home of the New York Mets. This was the first time that the Mets have hosted an All-Star Game since 1964, the team's inaugural season at Shea Stadium, and the ninth time the All-Star Game was held in New York City. The game was last held in New York City in 2008, when the original Yankee Stadium hosted it in its final season before being demolished. It was televised in the United States on Fox.

The American League shut out the National League for the third time in All-Star game history; the National League has six shutouts. This game marks the first time that there have been shutouts in consecutive All-Star games.

Host selection

The host site was reportedly to either be at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., home of the Washington Nationals or at Citi Field, the home of the Mets since 2009.{{cite news |last=Kernan |first=Kevin |title=SOURCE: ALL-STAR GAME AT CITI FIELD IN 2013|url=http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/mets/item_h9eazsmVxuSRY6wu3qO3mN |work=New York Post |date=July 15, 2009 |access-date=August 7, 2012}} The official announcement was made on May 16, 2012, at New York City Hall.{{cite news |title=Mets to host 2013 All-Star Game at Citi Field |first=Anthony |last=DiComo |url=http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120516&content_id=31423894&vkey=news_nym&c_id=nym |work=Mets.com |date=May 16, 2012 |access-date=May 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120523043243/http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120516&content_id=31423894&vkey=news_nym&c_id=nym |archive-date=May 23, 2012 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }} The Mets unveiled the logo for the 2013 All-Star Game on August 7, 2012.{{cite news |title=Mets unveil official 2013 All-Star Game logo|url=http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120807&content_id=36267464&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb |work=MLB.com |date=August 7, 2012 |access-date=August 7, 2012}}

Notes

  • The Yankees Mariano Rivera, who retired at the end of the season, was named the All-Star Game Most Valuable Player.{{cite web|url= https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/allstar/2013/07/16/2013-mlb-all-star-game-american-league-defeats-national-league/2523561/|title=For AL and Rivera, All-Star Game pitch-perfect|date=July 16, 2013|work=USA Today|access-date=July 17, 2013 }} Rivera pitched in the 8th inning and retired all 3 batters he faced. He was the first reliever selected to an All-Star team to ever receive the award, as well as the first pitcher since Pedro Martínez in 1999 and the second Yankee ever after Derek Jeter in 2000. Given his pending retirement, the award was given in recognition of his outstanding career.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/68651/pitching-riches-overwhelm-in-all-star-game|title=Pitching riches overwhelm in All-Star Game|work=ESPN.com|author=ESPN Stats & Information|date=July 17, 2013|access-date=July 18, 2013}}
  • The attendance of 45,186 was the largest in Citi Field's history.
  • Yankees TV announcer Michael Kay joined Sciambi and Singleton in the ESPN Radio call from the 2nd to 4th innings.
  • With the shutout, the "home" league did not score a run in 19 straight innings.
  • This game featured Tim McCarver's last All-Star Game with Joe Buck on FOX.
  • This is the last All-Star Game where teams wore their regular hats.
