This led to some shorter-than-usual gaps between the use of those venues: The Cardinals hosted the game in 1940, and the Browns in 1948.
In the first two decades of the game there were two pairs of teams that shared ballparks, located in Philadelphia and St. The criteria for choosing the venue are subjective for the most part, cities with new parks and cities who have not hosted the game in a long time-or ever-tend to get the nod. The "home team" is the league in which the host franchise plays its games. That scheduling also set up the 2008 game to be held in the scheduled final season at Yankee Stadium. It was broken again in 2007, when the San Francisco Giants were the host for the 2007 All-Star Game. The first time was in 1951, when the Detroit Tigers were chosen to host the annual game as part of the city's 250th birthday. The Major League Baseball All-Star Game venue is chosen by Major League Baseball and traditionally alternates between the American League and National League every year.
