He was the first reliever selected to an All-Star team to ever receive the award, as well as the first pitcher since Pedro Martínez in 1999 and the second Yankee ever after Derek Jeter in 2000. Given his pending retirement, the award was given in recognition of his outstanding career, not his performance in the game.https://www.espn.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/68651/pitching-riches-overwhelm-in-all-star-game Pitching riches overwhelm in All-Star Game ESPN.com ESPN Stats & Information July 17, 2013 July 18, 2013 The attendance of 45,186 was the largest in Citi Field's history.
