The 1970 All-Star Game played at Cincinnati’s new Riverfront Stadium was the first to be played at night – but the real news event was Pete Rose’s 12th inning home plate collision with catcher Ray Fosse. The play, which some called “dirty,” non-the less was the winning run as the NL defeated the AL, 5-4.

All the signatures are in strong black pen and display beautifully against the warm off-white leather. The ball comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA.
