I hope they walk away with a wonderful memory of Kansas City’s spirit.”The first MLB All-Star Game in the city’s history was played in 1960 at Municipal Stadium, but this one promises to be the most extravagant by a long shot.“I feel real good about Kansas City and I hope you do too,” said James, who indicated that downtown will serve as the hub for All-Star FanFest. “And finally, one last thing: Go big or go home.”The logo will adorn the Hall of Fame in left field leading up to the 83rd All-Star Game, which will air July 10 on Fox.Tickets for the game, which are distributed through Major League Baseball, won’t go on sale until sometime next year.
