The Marlins want to host the 2015 All-Star Game. Team president David Samson discussed the team's perspective Saturday and repeated his remarks Monday during a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "We lost the game before we had a ballpark. Now that there is a ballpark, it is certainly is our expectation that the All-Star Game will be returned to Miami," Samson said. "We look forward to that happening, and are very hopeful that it will be 2015." The Marlins were awarded the 2000 All-Star Game in July 1995, but then-NL president Len Coleman took it away in November 1998 and gave it to the Braves, saying the league wanted the game in new ballparks. A $515 million retractable-roof stadium on the former Orange Bowl site is slated to open for the 2012 season, when the team will be renamed the Miami Marlins.
