In the United States, Major League Baseball has cancelled this year's All-Star Game -- the first time in 75 years.  And according to reports, Dodger Stadium's 40-year wait to host the All-Star Game is going to last even longer.

The game scheduled for July 14th was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic, and Dodger Stadium was awarded the 2022 Midsummer Classic.  The 2021 game is set for Atlanta's Truist Park, home to the Braves since 2017.

"Once it became clear we were unable to hold this year's All-Star festivities, we wanted to award the Dodgers with the next available All-Star Game, which is 2022," baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. 

This will be the first time since 1945 that no game will be held.
