Did you know that Riverfront Stadium had only opened about three weeks earlier and only eleven regular season games had been played in it before this All-Star Game was played there?

President Richard Nixon threw out the first pitch TWICE during this game. The first was to Bill Freehan (American League starting catcher) and the second was thrown to Johnny Bench (National League starting catcher).

Here is the play-by-play (courtesty of RetroSheet) for the twelfth inning of the 1970 Midsummer Classic: Torre grounded out (B. Robinson to Yastrzemski); Clemente grounded out (Alomar to Yastrzemski); Rose singled to Otis; Grabarkewitz singled to Horton [Rose to second]; Hickman singled to Otis [Rose scored, Grabarkewitz to second];the famous Fosse-Rose collision. Do you believe the "Fosse-Rose collision" was justified? Should Rose have played so aggressively or was the slide out of line? Share your opinion of this infamous play on Baseball Fever.
