More than 16 million viewers saw the 1970 All-Star Game on national television, and more than 50,000 baseball fans watched in person at Riverfront Stadium. But a group of sports writers could only LISTEN to a description of the most debated play in All-Star Game history, the Pete Rose-Ray Fosse home plate collision, because the President of the United States, Richard Nixon -- truly an avid and knowledgeable baseball fan -- stayed until the dust settled at home plate in the bottom of the 12th inning.

It's the story of Cincinnati's rich baseball legacy, and of a long-gone ethic embodied in Pete Rose, who said before the game: "I play it like any other game -- I play it to win."
