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.

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.
