"Dave Roberts will lead the National League for the fifth time since becoming Dodgers manager, while the Blue Jays' John Schneider is going to serve as the American League skipper for the first time. Schneider is in his third full season as Blue Jays manager and fourth year overall. Roberts previously managed the NL team in the 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2025 editions of the All-Star Game."
"He is one of just six managers in Dodgers franchise history to lead the NL in an All-Star Game. The rest of the group consists of Leo Durocher, Burt Shotton, Charlie Dressen, Walt Alston and Tommy Lasorda. The Philadelphia Phillies are hosting the 96th Midsummer Classic at Citizens Bank Park, which coincides with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence."
""A lot of credit goes to him, too, just kind of getting thrown into the firestorm there and not being rattled by it, being able to keep pumping really good strikes to us. Having the familiarity, and he asked me right before, he was like, 'Where do you want it?' I'm like, just middle. And he's like, 'I gotcha.' "So a lot of credit goes to him, too, for the National League bringing it home.""
