Five people were arrested in Minneapolis in an attempt to deliver more than 110,000 petitions to Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, asking him to move the 2011 All-Star Game out of Arizona.

The arrests occurred at the quarterly MLB owners' meeting, which is being held at the Graves 601 Hotel.

The petitions, part of a national campaign, were an attempt by activists in protest of Arizona's controversial law SB 1070, an anti-illegal immigration measure that enables police to challenge the resident status of anyone they encounter during their duties.

Numerous major league players, managers and coaches have spoken out against the law, with Latino players such as Milwaukee's Yovani Gallardo and Kansas City's Joakim Soria having said they would refuse to participate in next year's All-Star Game if it is held in Phoenix as scheduled.
