2025 MLB All-Star Game Returns Atlanta Truist Park Amid Voting Law Controversy

The 2025 MLB All-Star Game took place at Truist Park in Atlanta, marking the return of players wearing their own teams' primary home and road jerseys for the first time since 2019, a change welcomed by fans and players alike. National League players wore home jerseys while American League players donned away jerseys, reviving a tradition dating back to the 1930s. The event featured top stars such as Aaron Judge, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and multiple Detroit Tigers representatives, with Tarik Skubal starting for the American League against National League's Paul Skenes. This year’s game also returned to Atlanta amid lingering controversy over Georgia's Election Integrity Act of 2021, which had prompted MLB to pull the game from the city in 2021; Governor Brian Kemp praised the league for reinstating the event, emphasizing its economic benefits. The American League continued its strong performance historically, aiming to extend their dominance over the National League. Overall, the game combined a nostalgic nod to baseball's past with top-tier talent and ongoing social and political context surrounding its location.
