DETROIT (AP) -- After being played in National League cities in consecutive years, baseball's All-Star game will return to an American League site in 2008.<br>
<br>
Next year's game will be at PNC Park in Pittsburgh and the 2007 game is scheduled for SBC Park in San Francisco, the former Pacific Bell Park.<br>
<br>
Baseball had alternated leagues each year since 1963, when the sport abandoned a four-year experiment of having two All-Star games per season. Commissioner Bud Selig had said he wanted to feature new ballparks.<br>
<br>
"'08 will be an American League city, '10 will be an American League city," Selig said before Tuesday night's All-Star game at Comerica Park. "We're going to go back to that."<br>
<br>
Selig said the AL may get consecutive games in the future because it missed out on its turn. He hopes to announce the 2008 site later this year.<br>
