The 1970 All-Star Game at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Stadium will best be remembered for the game-winning run being scored by hometown hero Pete Rose when he barreled into Cleveland Indians’ catcher Ray Fosse in the bottom of the 12th inning, resulting in Fosse dropping the ball and both players being injured and the National League coming away with a 5-4 victory. 32 members of the winning National League team have signed this Official National League Charles S. Feeney baseball.
