2013 MLB All-Star Game

The 2013 MLB All-Star Game is finally upon us, as the festivities have ended and the fight for home-field advantage in the World Series will soon commence. While everyone knows that the game will transpire, there's one question that everyone needs answered.

When and where can we watch the game?

Let’s be honest: Every hitter in the MLB All-Star Game is capable of a huge performance. No one made it to the Midsummer Classic without having already proven that time and again this season.

But every hitter is going to be facing some tremendous pitching in the game, and there’s a reason the American League and National League haven’t combined for more than eight runs in any of the last five All-Star Games.

Citi Field, which will play host to the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night, is generally considered one of the toughest ballparks in the league for power hitters.

It seemed nearly impossible to hit one out of the spacious park during its first couple years of existence, but the fences were brought in and Citi Field suddenly appears to favor home run hitters.

The MLB will celebrate the best that baseball has to offer on Tuesday night in the 2013 All-Star Game. The classic midsummer matchup, pitting the American League against the National League, will take place at Citi Field in the Big Apple.

So, who should fans be most excited to see?

Here, we'll take a closer look at a trio of stars sure to entertain fans on Tuesday.

With sluggers like Chris Davis of the Baltimore Orioles, Prince Fielder of the Detroit Tigers and Robinson Cano of the New York Yankees involved in this year's Home Run Derby, there certainly figures to be plenty of fireworks at Citi Field in Flushing, N.Y. Even so, it's fun to wonder what could have been if some different choices were made.

The 2013 Home Run Derby participants have been set, and it's obvious the American League has the edge on paper. David Wright might have the home-field advantage at Citi Field and Bryce Harper on his roster, but it's not going to be enough on July 15.

The 2013 MLB All-Star rosters are officially set, but before things kick off at Citi Field on Tuesday night we can't help but take a look back at how the 35 spots on both the American and National League teams were filled. 

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Steve Delabar won the All-Star Game Final Vote to be the last two players not named as injury replacements to make the two rosters. 

Snubs are a part of every MLB All-Star Game experience in sports. Players know it. Coaches know it. Fans know it. 

The process of talking about these oversights is often among the most inane conversations we have in sports. In the NFL, the event usually gets so watered down that you're arguing the difference between the 13th- and 14th-best quarterbacks in the league by the time rosters are finalized. In the NBA, you're talking about the separation of players who would be third bananas on a contender. 

The MLB All-Star game is just days away, and with home field advantage on the line in the World Series, expect certain stars to put on a show.

Let's take a look at this year's All-Star rosters for both the American and National League, then dive into whom to keep an eye on.

MLB All-Star Game Rosters

American League

If the fans don't vote Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig into the 2013 All-Star Game it will be a great disservice to the July 16 exhibition. 

The 22-year-old dynamo wasn't named to the initial rosters for the game in New York. But he is included in the list of National League players that fans can vote in, per the MLB's Twitter.
