Each team is made up of 34 players. The starting lineups were voted on by the fans online and the players and managers helped fill out the rest of the team with their choices. Last year’s World Series managers are the managers for the two teams. That means Rob Thomson will manage the National League team, while Dusty Baker will manage the American League squad.
It’s not an easy game for the managers, as they have to juggle getting as many players as possible in the game while also not over-using the pitchers and drawing the ire of their real teams. Injuries tend to pop up in the days before the All-Star Game, and at least a player or two will be sidelined from the festivities. That should open the door for a few others to sneak onto the All-Star game rosters.
Every team in the league is represented in the MLB-All Star game, as MLB rules require that at least one player from each team is selected. There is not a requirement, however, for each team to have a player at the game.
MLB All-Star Game Format
The All-Star Game is not a lone event. Instead, it’s joined by the All-Star Futures Game on Sunday and the Home Run Derby on Monday. The host city becomes a baseball party for several days as the country celebrates its oldest professional sport.
This game is always scheduled for Tuesday night. As for the game itself, it is set up much like a normal game. There are nine innings but no longer are extra innings possible in order to keep arms relatively fresh for the second half of the season.
Beginning in 2022, any game that is tied after nine innings will go into a best-of-five-round home run derby. Five players will be chosen by each manager and each player gets one swing. Whoever hits the most homers in the five rounds will win and be credited in the final tally with one run and one hit each. If the teams remain tied, sudden death rounds will continue.

MLB All-Star Game Notes
In 1996, the National League beat the American League 6-0 to improve to 40-26-1 in the Midsummer Classic. Since that time, however, the AL League has owned the National League, winning nine straight games and putting together a record of 21-3-1 over the last 25 years, essentially erasing the 23-2-1 run of the NL through the 60s and 70s. The senior circuit’s dominance is gone as the AL is 47-43-2 in the All-Star Game.
