First Game Was Held At Comiskey
“This was the opening theme for CBS’s coverage of the 1990 All-Star Game from Wrigley Field,” Sportbuff99TV writes. “Greg Gumbel was the announcer.”

Post-ironically, though, the first All-Star Game was held at Comiskey Park as part of the 1933 World’s Fair – long before the Tribune Company bought and later sold the Cubs.
Wrigley also hosted the game in 1947 and 1962. Comiskey hosted the game in 1950 and 1983. The game returned to Chicago in 2003 at the Cell.
