The first three &#8211; 1934 and 1956 at Griffith Stadium and 1962 at District of Columbia Stadium are included. As with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yurasko.net\/wfy\/2017\/04\/nats-d-c-opening-day-newsreels-and-video-from-the-hoover-administration-to-2016.html\"><strong>my Opening Day videos<\/strong><\/a>, 1969 is conspicuous by it&#8217;s absence, but hopefully that will find it&#8217;s way to YouTube before next year&#8217;s game. It kicks off with Commissioner Rob Manfred&#8217;s announcement of the 2018 All-Star Game being awarded to Nationals Park.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PL7ptOgzzA9_XoTin9j_AZtZ2EIAryrQaU\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Like those previous DC All-Star Games the AL will be the home team in 2018 as that switches annually despite the league affiliation of the host team. It&#8217;ll be odd seeing road Nats grays.<\/p>\n<p>This year the Nats are sending five players to Miami for the mid-summer classic: Max Scherzer, Bryce Harper, Daniel Murphy, Stephen Strasburg and Ryan Zimmerman whose hot start got him his second career All-Star appearance. Anybody who saw him as thr NL&#8217;s All-Star first basemen prior to this season would have been delusional. It&#8217;d be nice if his power would return through.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s hope the 2018 has another feature &#8211; a Washington manager leading a squad. It only happened once &#8211; in 1934 when Joe Cronin coached the American League after leading the &#8217;33 Senators to their third pennant in 10 seasons. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another feature, on District-native Maury Wills, then a phenom with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite playing in his hometown, Wills was blocked by security in D.C. Stadium in the 1962 All-Star Game. He proceeded to win the MVP:<\/p>\n<p><iframe src='http:\/\/mlb.mlb.com\/shared\/video\/embed\/embed.html?content_id=1221677383?topic_id=8877508&#038;width=400&#038;height=224&#038;property=mlb' width='400' height='224' frameborder='0'>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video playlist of Major League Baseball All-Star Games played in Washington, D.C.
