 Major League Baseball Hall of Famer and Boston Red Sox pitching icon Pedro Martinez says he had family members who were at the Dominican Republic nightclub when the roof collapsed on Tuesday, killing at least 113 people.

“I still have family members that are still in the [rubble] and we don’t know what happened to them but we just want to be strong, like we have always been,” Martinez said in an Instagram post.
