Which city has hosted the most Major League Baseball All-Star games?

The 88th Major League Baseball Midsummer Classic, the All-Star Game, will be played at Marlins Park in Miami in 2017. It will be the city's first chance to host the game that has long been a standard of the American Pastime since it's inception in 1933.

Not surprisingly, New York City has hosted nine of these contests dating back to 1934 when the game was played at the Polo Grounds.

The Polo Grounds also entertained the game in 1942.

The game was held at the old Yankee Stadium in 1939, 1960, 1977, 2008. The 1977 game was one-year removed from its renovation that saw the Bronx Bombers play two seasons at Shea Stadium, the home of the Mets.

The Mets hosted the game at Shea in 1964 and in their new home, Citi Field, in 2013.

The game found its way to historic Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, the former home of the Dodgers, just once in 1949. The Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1959.

New York has had six baseball parks in its history, the only one yet to host the All-Star Game is the current, new Yankee Stadium. A date has yet to be determined if/when the game will return to the Big Apple.

Chicago has hosted the game seven times, including the inaugural game in Comiskey Park as part of the Chicago World's Fair. The White Sox hosted the game three times at Comiskey (1933, 1950, 1983) and once at U.S. Cellular Field (2003). The Cubs hosted the game at Wrigley Field in 1947, 1962, 1990.

Cleveland and Pittsburgh have hosted five times.

Each venue is selected by an MLB committee.
