Former Orioles right-handed pitcher Dennis Martinez, who managed the National League at this year's All-Stars Futures Game in Cleveland July 7, was honored to share his wisdom and baseball knowledge with the game's up-and-coming stars.
The Futures Game, one of the main events of Major League Baseball's All-Star festivities every year, showcases the top prospects from every club in baseball. This year's matchup ended in a 2-2 tie after eight innings.
"First of all, I was grateful that the MLB was able to consider myself to occupy that position. It's a big responsibility, being able to be around all the young prospects of Major League Baseball, because even though now they are the minor league's biggest prospects they are going to be in the big leagues soon," Martinez said on Glenn Clark Radio July 9. "It was a great environment, I was really happy to be around those young guys. I felt young myself!"
