The 1998 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 69th playing of the midsummer classic between the all-stars of the American League (AL) and National League (NL), the two leagues comprising Major League Baseball . The game was held on July 7, 1998 at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado , the home of the Colorado Rockies of the National League. The game resulted in the American League defeating the National League 13-8. It was (and remains) the highest-scoring All-Star Game in MLB history.
The pregame ceremony honored the United States Air Force Academy who provided the five-man color guard , flag presentations, and, at the end of country music singer Faith Hill 's performance of the U.S. National Anthem , the flyover ceremonies. Hill's National Anthem performance was preceded by actress Gloria Reuben 's performance of The Canadian National Anthem .
Twelve-year-old Elias Kurts was given the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch , the first "non-celebrity" so honored.
