Hall of Famer Fred McGriff, Bartolo Colón, Andre Ethier and current stars to attend new Awards Show

In-person interviews with select All-MLB electees and entertainment by Blue Man Group and DJ Joe Green featured throughout the program from Las Vegas

Dec. 12, 2023 - Major League Baseball’s best in 2023 will be celebrated with a star-studded “All-MLB Team Show” presented by MGM Rewards this Saturday, Dec. 16 at 8 p.m. ET on MLB Network from Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Renowned comedian and diehard baseball fan Roy Wood Jr. will host Saturday’s special program alongside a group of All-MLB electees, Hall of Famer Fred McGriff and MLB Network broadcasters Greg Amsinger, Mark DeRosa, Harold Reynolds and Lauren Shehadi, as the selections for the All-MLB Teams and Hank Aaron Award are revealed to the world.

Wood Jr., who most recently served for eight years as a Daily Show correspondent says of hosting the program, “A night celebrating the best in the game, hosted by a man who can’t hit a pitch over 50 miles per hour. It’s an honor to prove my high school coach wrong, I actually DID make it to the majors…in December.”

Interspersed throughout the program, which will also stream on MLB.com, MLB.TV and in the MLB app, will be entertainment by the mesmerizing and iconic Blue Man Group and Vegas native and music sensation DJ Joe Green. Special appearances will also be made by former MLB All-Stars Bartolo Colón and Andre Ethier.  

Reynolds, a two-time MLB All-Star says of the program, “This will be a night unlike any other that Major League Baseball and its fans have experienced. Getting the stars together to celebrate the great year baseball has had, while having a few laughs along the way thanks to Roy, is something we’re all excited about.” 

MLB introduced its first-ever All-MLB Team awards in 2019 to give a more comprehensive honor that covered the full breadth of a big league regular season, complementing the All-Star Game selections that are awarded just past the season's halfway point. Introduced in 1999, the Hank Aaron Award is awarded annually to the best overall offensive performer in each league.

Shehadi says of Saturday’s show, “It’ll be a who’s who of stars in our game all coming together for one night. Cy Youngs, MVPs and more, reminiscing about this past year and looking ahead to a new 162, as the New Year approaches." 

Saturday’s program marks the culmination of the inaugural All-MLB Weekend, a new multi-day offseason event in Las Vegas, where MGM Rewards members will have the opportunity to attend the “All-MLB Team Show” in addition to joining All-MLB players and legends at a private dinner in Rivea at Delano Las Vegas and a golf outing at Shadow Creek.
