A ticket from the dramatic final game at Crosley Field, ending nearly six decades of Reds baseball at the historic ballpark.

Why This Ticket Matters

On June 24, 1970, the Cincinnati Reds hosted the San Francisco Giants in the final major-league game played at Crosley Field.

Cincinnati trailed 4–3 in the eighth inning when Johnny Bench and Lee May hit back-to-back home runs off Giants starter Juan Marichal. The Reds held on for a 5–4 victory.

The finish closed a ballpark that had been home to the Reds since 1912 and had hosted milestones including Major League Baseball’s first night game. Six days later, Cincinnati opened Riverfront Stadium.
