1999 CFOD ALL-STAR GAME @ CINCINNATI ROCK'S COMMISKY PARK 1999 has been a slugfest so far, and the all-star game was no exception. In the top of the 2nd, Rock ace and MK all-star game starter Kevin Millwood found himself in a bit of trouble thanks to a few sluggers from the Arizona Thunder. Mark McGwire homered for the first run of the game, and 2 batters later Matt Stairs took Millwood deep out of the park as well. The Warriors' Ken Griffey Jr was walked, and that's all she wrote for Millwood. The MK all-stars started pounding the RY pitchers in the 3rd inning. The Towers' Ivan Rodriguez doubled and moved to 3rd on a Carl Everett fly out, which was the end of Pedro Martinez's day. The Brouhaha's Hideki Irabu came on in relief and proceeded to dig himself into a deep hole. With runners on 1st & 3rd, the Zippys' Derek Jeter hit a ball just fair inside the line, clearing the bases and putting Jeter on at 3rd for a 2-all ballgame. A Chipper Jones sacrifice fly would make it a 3-2 MK all-star game. The MK all-star pitchers got themselves into a jam in the 4th, loading the bases with 1 out. Rock closer Scott Williamson came on get his team out of the inning. First batter faced was the Warriors' Fernando Tatis, who gets the walk, tying the game up at 3 all. Next up was PH and "27th man all-star" California Conehead 2B Ray Durham. Durham proved his all-star worth, getting the walk and giving the RY all-stars the 4-3 lead. Up next was was the starting RY 2B, Arizona's Chuck Knoblauch, but hit into a double play to end the inning. Wouldn't you know it, the RY all-star lead wouldn't last long. In the bottom of the 4th inning against Fish starter Eric Milton, the Squids' all- star 3B Dean Palmer cranked one over the wall, giving a tie ballgame once again. Later on in the inning the MK all-stars would get the opportunity to score a few more runs by loading the bases. California Conehead closer Mariano Rivera comes on to save the day. First up is pinch hitter Manny Ramirez. No luck for Manny, as he strikes out for out #2. Up next is Derek Jeter, who does the popular thing today and walks, forcing in a run and giving the MK all-stars the 5-4 lead. The Dogs' Chipper Jones flies out to end the inning. In the top of the 5th, the RY all-stars came back yet again, loading the bases. Good thing the all-star game features so many top-tier closers. This time it was the 'Topes closer Rudy Seanez's turn to save the day. Up first was pinch hitter Brian Giles, subbing for Matt Stairs. Giles didn't do so hot, hitting into a double play, but the DP allowed a runner to score from 3rd, tying up the game at 5 all. That's all the RY all-stars would get in the 5th. In the 7th inning, the Warrior's Billy Koch was on the mound, facing pinch hitter Tony Bautista with the Syndicate's Barry Bonds on 2nd. Batista singled, scoring Bonds from 2nd and gave the MK all-stars the 6-5 lead. We now move to the bottom of the 9th, with the Wet Sox's Roberto Hernandez on the mound. Hernandez got 2 outs, but allowed 2 runners on base. The last batter up was Mike Piazza, but Piazza couldn't deliver, grounding out to end the game. The MK All-Stars win a wild one 6-5 against the RY All-Stars. ALL-STAR MVP: With a triple, walk and 3 RBI's to his credit, the Zippys' Derek Jeter gets the nod this year.
