A ticket from the 1970 All-Star Game and the collision at home plate that became one of the event’s defining images.

Why This Ticket Matters

The 1970 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was played July 14 at Cincinnati’s new Riverfront Stadium during the ballpark’s inaugural season.

With the score tied in the bottom of the 12th inning, Pete Rose scored from second on Jim Hickman’s single and collided with catcher Ray Fosse at home plate. Rose’s run gave the National League a 5–4 victory.

The play became inseparable from the game’s history—celebrated by some as an expression of Rose’s intensity and debated by others because of the toll it took on Fosse. This ticket is a physical witness to that enduring All-Star moment.
