The Red Sox last hosted the Midsummer Classic in 1999. It was one of the most memorable All-Star Game experiences in recent memory, featuring the All-Century Team unveiling, a tribute to Ted Williams and Pedro Martinez winning MVP after a dominant two innings with five strikeouts. The 1999 Home Run Derby was fantastic, too, with Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Ken Griffey Jr. and hometown hero Nomar Garciaparra putting on a show for fans.
