The Cleveland Indians will hold a press conference on Friday morning to announce that they will host the 2019 MLB All-Star Game at Progressive Field, multiple sources told cleveland.com.
The city last hosted the sport's Midsummer Classic in 1997, where Indians catcher Sandy Alomar won the Most Valuable Player Award for his go-ahead two-run home run in the seventh inning.
The 2019 game will mark the sixth in Cleveland. No other franchise has hosted more, and only New York and Chicago -- areas with multiple teams -- have hosted more as a city.
This year's All-Star Game will take place in Miami, Florida at Marlins Park. The 2018 game will be in Washington, D.C. at Nationals Park.
