  "account": "Major League Baseball (MLB) has announced that the San Francisco Giants will host the 2028 All-Star Week festivities at Oracle Park. The Giants will also be the venue for the Home Run Derby, the Futures Game, and the MLB Draft. Commissioner Rob Manfred praised San Francisco's passionate fanbase, world-class ballpark, and rich baseball history as the perfect setting for All-Star Week, which features the Midsummer Classic. This will mark the fourth time the Giants have hosted All-Star Week, with previous events in 1961, 1984, and 2007. The Giants' inaugural All-Star Weeks were held at Candlestick Park. Giants president and CEO Larry Baer expressed excitement about welcoming the baseball world to San Francisco and showcasing the city, organization, and fans. The 2007 event saw Ichiro Suzuki win the All-Star Most Valuable Player Award after hitting the first inside-the-park home run in MLB All-Star Game history.",
