Tuesday BP: Coors Field expected to host All-Star Game

Hello and happy Tuesday you lovely San Francisco Giants fans. I hope you’re all doing well.

A few days ago, Major League Baseball announced that the 2021 All-Star Game would not take place at Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. Following undemocratic new laws in Georgia that aim to suppress voters, the league decided to pull out of the state and take the midsummer festivities elsewhere.

Now we know where that elsewhere is: Denver. According to multiple reports, Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, is expected to host the All-Star Game now.

Let’s hope the Giants send a hitter, not a pitcher to the festivities.
