Back to back years in an NL park seems odd

Yeah it's the first time since '06-'07 where they broke the AL/NL rotation. The only AL park I think that was in serious consideration was Baltimore. Every other AL team (barring Tampa Bay and Oakland and neither will until they get a new park) has hosted it at least once since 1991.

Also on the NL note there are several other teams that have yet to host it in their new parks: Philadelphia, Miami, Atlanta (when their new one opens), and Washington.

It will actually be three years in a row for the NL (2015-2017). I think Baltimore or someone did something that made MLB upset and they decided to rip them of their ASG.

Also, Petco is an amazing park. I got go on the field during the Winter Meetings. That was pretty sweet literally stepping up to the plate at a Major League field.
