2012 MLB All-Star Game Rosters Revealed
The MLB All-Star game is upon us once again and the annual roster looks very different from past years. Notable names such as Albert Puljos and Alex Rodriguez are left off this year’s teams in favor of many new young talent in baseball. Veteran names such as Derek Jeter and David Ortiz have remained successful as they have once again been name starters for the annual game.
The 83rd Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be televised nationally on Tuesday, July 10th by FOX Sports. Pregame ceremonies begin at 7:30 p.m. ET. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide exclusive national radio coverage. MLB Network, MLB.com and Sirius XM also will provide comprehensive All-Star Game coverage.
