It's been 45 years since I sat in the spanking new Riverfront Stadium press box on a sweltering July night in 1970 and watched what was to become the greatest All-Star Game I've covered.
As the 2015 All-Star Game presented by T-Mobile returns to Cincinnati on Tuesday night, fans will be talking about all the plots and subplots that unfolded in what was then the third Midsummer Classic played in their city. The game returned to Riverfront in 1988.
You have to start with -- no make that end with -- Pete Rose crashing into Ray Fosse to score the winning run as the National League recorded a 5-4 victory in 12 innings.
