Here's a ball with history! Not only is it a memento from the Cincinnati Reds' 1972 NLCS clincher vs. Pittsburgh, a thrilling series that went the distance and ended in walk-off fashion, but it also holds the distinction of being used during the final game in which the great Roberto Clemente played. No one knew at the time that Pittsburgh's brilliant right-fielder would be tragically lost in two-and-a-half months, the victim of a plane crash, but that's the sad reality. In his final plate appearance, Clemente was intentionally walked in the top of the eighth inning at Riverfront Stadium. Just an inning later, teammate Bob Moose threw an ill-timed wild pitch, allowing George Foster to scamper home from third base with the winning run. The official National League (Feeney) baseball shows nice use and features the following in black ink: "ON OCTOBER 11, '72 LAST OF THE 9th, GAME TIED 3-3, BOB MOOSE WILD PITCHED THIS BALL, GEORGE FOSTER SCORED, REDS BEAT PITTSBURGH TO WIN NATIONAL LEAGUE PENNANT." Comes with an LOA from the son of the President of the Reds, Myron Dale, whose father, Francis, was at the game and was presented with the ball from Cincinnati's equipment manager, Bernie Stowe.
