How you could talk about Petey and not think of the All Star game in Boston, I don't know. There was more than Pedro that night; some of the greatest ballplayers alive were there and a teary-eyed Ted Williams threw the first pitch to Carlton Fisk.
But Pedro Martinez was the story. Up they came, the best the National League had to offer, unusually large men, and back to the dugout they went. Barry Larkin? No match for Pedro. Larry Walker? No match for Pedro. Sammy Sosa? No match for Pedro. Mark McGwire? No match for Pedro. Four batters. Four strike outs. Absolutely beautiful.
