The Triple-A All-Star Game is an annual baseball game sanctioned by Minor League Baseball between professional players from the two affiliated Triple-A leagues. When last held in 2019, these leagues were the International League (IL) and Pacific Coast League (PCL). In conjunction with Major League Baseball's restructuring of Minor League Baseball in 2021, these leagues disbanded, and Triple-A teams were reorganized into the Triple-A East and Triple-A West. There is no Triple-A All-Star Game scheduled for 2021.

From the inaugural 1988 event through 1997, teams of American League-affiliated Triple-A All-Stars faced off against teams of National League-affiliated Triple-A All-Stars. From 1998 through 2019, the IL and PCL each fielded a team composed of players in their respective leagues as voted on by fans, the media, and each club's field manager, coaches, and general manager.[1]

Traditionally, the game has taken place on the day after the mid-summer Major League Baseball All-Star Game.[2] The game is meant to mark a symbolic halfway-point in the season (though not the mathematical halfway-point which, for most seasons, is usually one month prior). Both Triple-A leagues share a common All-Star break, with no regular-season games scheduled for two days before the All-Star Game itself. Some additional events, such as the All-Star Fan Fest and Triple-A Home Run Derby, take place each year during this break in the regular season.[3]

History[]

2015 IL All-Stars before the game

The Triple-A All-Star Game began in 1988.[4] The inaugural game was played in Buffalo, New York. The host city has since alternated annually between cities in each Triple-A league.[5] Only Albuquerque, New Mexico; Buffalo; Columbus, Ohio; Louisville, Kentucky; and Salt Lake City, Utah, have hosted on multiple occasions, each having hosting twice. Eight current Triple-A cities have never hosted the event, nor are scheduled to host in the future: Jacksonville, Florida; Lawrenceville, Georgia; Round Rock, Texas; San Antonio, Texas; St. Paul, Minnesota; Sugar Land, Texas; Syracuse, New York; and Worcester, Massachusetts.

When it began, there were three Triple-A leagues in the United States: the American Association, International League, and Pacific Coast League. Due to the odd number of leagues, it was decided that one team would be made up of All-Stars from American League affiliates and the other of National League affiliates.[4] The American Association ceased operations after the 1997 season. So in 1998, the teams were reorganized so that one team consisted of International League All-Stars and the other of Pacific Coast League All-Stars.[6]

From 2006 to 2016, the winning league earned the distinction of having its league champion (determined at the end of the season) being given home team status for the Triple-A National Championship Game, a single game to determine a Triple-A champion in the postseason.[7] This changed in 2017, when home team status began being awarded to the team from the league which hosts the championship game.[8]

The start of the 2020 season was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic before ultimately being cancelled on June 30.[9][10] This resulted in the cancellation of the game, which had been slated for PNC Field in Moosic, Pennsylvania.[11]

In conjunction with Major League Baseball's restructuring of Minor League Baseball in 2021, the IL and PCL disbanded, and Triple-A teams were reorganized into the Triple-A East and Triple-A West.[12] Due to travel restrictions in place in the 2021 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, teams will play limited opponents.[13] While the 2021 schedule originally included a three-day All-Star break of July 12–14,[14] this was removed after Opening Day was pushed back one month.[15][16] The 2021 All-Star Game had been scheduled to be held at Round Rock's Dell Diamond.[17]

Structure[]

2015 PCL All-Stars before the game

Each league's roster consists of 30 players, though the actual number of players on gameday may be less due to call-ups, injuries, or players choosing not to participate.[18] Thirteen players are elected for each team through a vote by fans, team personnel, and media members.[19] Fans can submit online ballots with votes for one player at each infield position, a catcher, a designated hitter, three outfielders, and four pitchers—two starters and two relievers. Fan balloting accounts for one-third of the total vote.[19] The ballots of each club's field manager, coaches, and general manager account for another third.[19] Votes from broadcasters and members of the media make up the final third.[19] Once 13 All-Stars are elected, each league office selects an additional 17 players to fill out their roster.[19] One goal of adding these additional players is to make sure every Triple-A team is represented on the All-Star rosters.

The game itself consists of a single nine-inning game to determine a champion. The only All-Star game to ever go beyond the prescribed nine innings was the 2004 game held in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, at McCoy Stadium.[20] Triple-A rules restricted the game from going beyond 10 innings, but the International League scored in the bottom of the 10th inning, avoiding a tie game as the result.[20] The league in which the host city competes is considered the home team for the game and the other team is designated the visiting team. Designated hitters bat in place of the pitchers.

Historically, players wore their respective team's uniforms. Players on the home team wore their club's white home uniforms, while players on the away team wore their club's gray road uniforms. Usually a patch depicting the game's logo was sewn onto their jerseys and caps. This changed temporarily in 2017 when players wore league-specific jerseys paired with the appropriate home/road pants and their respective team's cap.[21][22] Players wore the uniforms of their respective clubs again in the 2018 game. [23]

Most recently, the game was umpired by a four-man crew with one umpire behind home plate and the others covering each base. Two of the umpires work in the IL, while two work in the PCL. Assignments rotated each year such that IL umpires were assigned to home plate and second base in even years, and PCL umpires manned those positions in odd years.[24]

Awards[]

2015 PCL All-Stars in the dugout

The Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards at the Triple-A All-Star Game have gone by various names. One player was selected in the inaugural 1988 contest for the SportsTicker "Star of Stars" Award. From 1989 through 1997, the award was bestowed upon one player from each Triple-A league. For 2004, this award was renamed the TSN "Star of the Game" Award. Since 2005, it has been known as the MiLB.com "Top Star" Award.[30]

Additional awards were given out to honor the best overall performance and/or best pitching performance from 2000 to 2008. From 2000 to 2003, two players were honored as the Maurice Lacroix/Lou Gehrig Players of the Game—one as "Player of the Game" and one as "Pitcher of the Game." In 2004, one player was selected as the "Dodge Most Valuable Player." From 2005 to 2007, this award has given out as the Bank of America Most Valuable Player Award. The Bank of America Most Valuable Pitcher Award was given in 2008.[30]

The team with the most MVP winners (excluding additional awards from 2000 to 2008) is the International League's Gwinnett Stripers (formerly the Richmond Braves) with six MVPs. The IL's Buffalo Bisons and Pacific Coast League's Oklahoma City Dodgers (formerly the Oklahoma City 89ers and Oklahoma/Oklahoma City RedHawks) are tied for second place with five MVPs. The only player to win more than one regular MVP award is Luis Lopez who won in 1994 with the IL's Richmond Braves and in 1995 with the IL's Buffalo Bisons.[30]

Notable All-Stars[]

Sandy Alomar, Jr. (shown) and Ramón Martínez were the first two Triple-A All-Star participants to play in a Major League All-Star Game.[32]

Of the more than 1,200 players that have participated in the Triple-A All-Star Game,[33] 108 have also been selected for the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.[32] These players are:

Home Run Derby[]

Matt Davidson, who won the 2013 Triple-A Home Run Derby, hitting in the 2015 contest
Dariel Álvarez won the 2015 Triple-A Home Run Derby.
Chad Huffman won both the 2009 and 2018 Triple-A Home Run Derbies.

The Triple-A Home Run Derby is an annual home run hitting contest customarily held two days before the Triple-A All-Star Game.[34] Though the rules change from year to year, the most recent iteration featured six players, three from each league, competing to see who can hit the most home runs.[35]

Rob Stratton (2003 and 2007) and Chad Huffman (2009 and 2018) are the only participants to win the derby twice. Juan González is the only player to win the Triple-A Home Run Derby and the Major League Baseball Home Run Derby. He won the Triple-A version in 1990 and the MLB version in 1993.[36] The winners of each year's contest are as follows.[37]
