Notes
- On July 3, 2020, it was announced that the 2020 Major League Baseball All-Star Game scheduled to be held in Los Angeles would not be played due to the coronavirus pandemic. They will instead host in 2022.[1]
- The 2021 game was originally scheduled to be played at Truist Park in Atlanta, GA, home of the Atlanta Braves. However, because of a new voting bill being passed in Atlanta, Major League Baseball relocated the game, the 2021 Home Run Derby, and the 2021 MLB draft (a new addition to the All-Star festivities) to Denver.

Notes
- The 1990 All-Star Game from Chicago's Wrigley Field was marred by an approximately 68-minute rain delay during the top of the 7th inning.[3] In the meantime, CBS aired Rescue 911.[4]
- For CBS' coverage of the 1992 All-Star Game, they introduced Basecam,[5] a lipstick-size camera, inside first base.
- In June 1993, CBS Sports' Lesley Visser suffered a jogging accident in New York's Central Park in which she broke her hip and skidded face-first across the pavement.[6] She required reconstructive plastic surgery on her face and in 2006, she required an artificial hip replacement. She missed the 1993 Major League Baseball All-Star Game due to the accident. In Visser's place in the meantime, came Jim Kaat.
- The 1994 All-Star Game marked NBC's first broadcast of a Major League Baseball game since Game 5 of the 1989 National League Championship Series on October 9. It also marked the inaugural broadcast of "The Baseball Network", which was a short-lived (lasting through the conclusion of the 1995 World Series), revenue-sharing joint venture between NBC, ABC, and Major League Baseball. The '94 All-Star game also was broadcast in Spanish on NBC's Secondary Audio Program. Boston Red Sox announcer Héctor Martínez and seven time All-Star Tony Pérez were the announcers for the occasion.

Notes
- 1976 – The ABC team of Bob Prince, Bob Uecker, and Warner Wolf alternated roles for the broadcast. For the first three innings, Prince did play-by-play with Wolf on color commentary and Uecker doing field interviews. For the middle innings, Uecker worked play-by-play with Prince on color and Wolf doing the interviews. For the rest of the game, Wolf worked play-by-play with Uecker on color and Prince doing interviews.

Notes
- The 1967 All-Star Game in Anaheim can be considered the first "prime time" telecast[50] of a Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The game started at approximately 7:00 p.m. on the East Coast. Sports Illustrated, noting that the game “began at 4 p.m. in California and ended at 11 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time,” reported “an estimated 55 million people watched the game, compared with 12 million viewers for the 1966 All-Star Game, played in the afternoon.”[51]
- The 1969 game was originally scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, July 22, but heavy rains forced its postponement to the following afternoon. The 1969 contest remains the last All-Star Game to date to be played earlier than prime time in the Eastern United States.

Notes
- During the 1955 All-Star Game, NBC director Harry Coyle introduced the center field pitcher-batter camera shot to supplement the standard behind home-plate view. The angle allowed viewers to follow the ball from the pitcher's hand all the way into the catcher's mitt.
- The 1952 All-Star Game in Philadelphia was the first nationally televised All-Star Game, but it was shortened by rain.
- In 1950, the Mutual Broadcasting System acquired the television broadcast rights to the World Series and All-Star Game for the next six years. Mutual may have been reindulging in TV network dreams or simply taking advantage of a long-standing business relationship; in either case, the broadcast rights were sold to NBC in time for the following season's games at an enormous profit.

Notes
- Up until at least, the late 1970s-early 1980s, a majority of the radio announcing crews for the All-Star Game split play-by-play duties, doing either the first 4½ or last 4½ innings.
