This week, you can get another look — or two — at the 2000 MLB All-Star game, which was played in Atlanta.

The July 11, 2000, game at Turner Field will be rebroadcast at 6 p.m. Wednesday on MLB’s Facebook, YouTube and Twitter platforms and at 7 p.m. Saturday on Fox Sports South.

The Braves were well represented in the game at their home stadium. Bobby Cox managed the National League team. Third baseman Chipper Jones went 3-for-3 with a home run. First baseman Andres Galarraga and center fielder Andruw Jones had a hit apiece. Pitcher Tom Glavine worked a 1-2-3 inning.

The American League won the game, 6-3, though. The Yankees’ Derek Jeter was named the MVP; he had three hits and two RBIs.

The 2000 event marked the second time in Atlanta for baseball's All-Star game, which was played in 1972 at Atlanta Stadium (later renamed Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium). The 2021 All-Star game is scheduled to be played at Truist Park.
