Item Description
1" dia. Enameled metal w/needle post. Marked on reverse "Balfour." Great design features Cincinnati Reds mascot Mr. Red running and surrounded by the Reds "C", there are also crossed bats. The game was played on the evening of July 14, 1970, at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, home of the Cincinnati Reds of the National League, and resulted in a 5-4 victory for the NL. This was the first MLB All-Star Game ever played at night. Riverfront Stadium had barely been open two weeks when it hosted its first All-Star Game. Undeniably, the most remembered moment of the game was the final run, scored in the bottom of the twelfth by Pete Rose. The ball was relayed to the American League catcher, Ray Fosse, in time to tag Rose out, but the tenacious Rose bowled Fosse over. Both players were injured, Fosse enough to drop the ball, giving Rose credit for the game-winning run. The MVP of the game was Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox, the second player to win the award while playing for the losing team. NM.
