The 1945 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was cancelled on April 24 after the Major League Baseball (MLB) season began on April 17. The July 10 game was cancelled due to wartime travel restrictions due to United States involvement in World War II. The 1945 season is the only season since 1933 when the first official All-Star Game was played, that an All-Star Game was cancelled. MLB did not name All-Stars for the 1945 season. This was to have been the 13th annual playing of the "Midsummer Classic" by MLB's American League (AL) and National League (NL) All-Star teams. The game was to be played at Fenway Park, home of the AL's Boston Red Sox. Fenway Park was chosen for the 1946 Major League Baseball All-Star Game (13th "Midsummer Classic") which was played on July 9 of that year. On July 9 and 10, 1945, seven out of eight scheduled interleague night games were played in place of the All-Star Game during the three-day All-Star break to help support the American Red Cross and the National War Fund.〔Baseball Did You Know? – VII, ''1945 All Star Game Replacements'' () Retrieved July 23, 2015〕〔Baseball Almanac () Retrieved July 23, 2015〕〔Baseball Almanac () Retrieved July 23, 2015〕 Four of the exhibition games were played on July 10 in Washington, D.C., St. Louis, Philadelphia, and Boston.

Although baseball's new commissioner, Happy Chandler was reportedly "intrigued" by the idea, it was ultimately dismissed as impractical by military advisors.〔Baseball Did You Know? – VII, ''1945 All Star Game Replacements'' () Retrieved July 23, 2015〕 == MLB All-Stars (not officially named) == MLB did not officially name All-Stars for the 1945 season due to the cancellation of the All-Star Game.
