At the 1999 MLB All-Star game, American League starting pitcher Pedro Martinez struck out the first four batters he faced, becoming the first pitcher in history to begin the All-Star Game striking out the side. In all he struck out five of the six batters he faced, earning him Game MVP honors and became the second player in All-Star Game history to be named MVP as a member of the host team. Red Sox legend Ted Williams threw out the first pitch and was recognized on the field prior to the game starting.
