In front of a sell out crowd at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, the National League defeated the American League 3-1 in the 2015 Midsummer Classic. After presenting the MVP award to Arizona 1B Paul Goldschmidt, rookie commissioner stepped up to the podium:
"Because this is one of our greatest events of the season, I would like to make a special announcement. On behalf of Major League Baseball, I am happy to reveal the news that the league will be expanding to 32 teams prior to the 2017 season. The new cities will be selected within the following 12 months."
