1971 Baseball All-Star Game ticket (full ticket)

THIS IS A VERY RARE FULL TICKET. Currently on ebay, only one full ticket for this game is priced at nearly $850.

Best known for Reggie Jackson's mammoth home run of the Tiger Stadium light-standard, this is one of the top ten Major League Baseball All-Star Games of all time.

OTHER NOTES ABOUT THE 1971 BASEBALL ALL-STAR GAME:

• A total of 26 future Hall of Famers were present for this game: 21 players, both managers, National League coach Walt Alston, Hall of Fame umpire Doug Harvey, and future Hall of Fame manager Joe Torre.

• Vida Blue was credited with the win. Dock Ellis was credited with the loss. Hometown favorite Mickey Lolich was credited with the save, the first official save in an MLB All-Star Game.

• All of the scoring came via the home run, all six home runs hit in the game and all the runs scored were by future Hall of Fame players. The six total home runs hit by both teams tied an All-Star Game record. Besides the home runs, the National League got singles by Bench and Tommy Davis; the American League got singles by Murcer, Kaline, Aparicio, and Brooks Robinson. All of them, except Davis and Murcer, were eventually inducted at Cooperstown.

• Frank Robinson became the first player in All-Star Game history to hit home runs for both leagues over the course of his career.

• Reggie Jackson's home run is described as "especially memorable", as it hit one of the light standards on the roof of the stadium, credibly estimated to have landed 520 feet from home plate.
