1979 RAWLINGS OFFICIAL ALL-STAR GAME 50TH ANNIVERSARY BASEBALL

New in manufacturer's cardboard shipper, w/ custom plastic display stand.

In recognition of the 50th All-Star Game, Major League Baseball commissioned the Rawlings Company to create for the first time a special commemorative baseball to be used in All-Star Game play.

(The National League, behind Lee Mazzilli's pinch home run in the 8th inning and bases-loaded walk in the 9th, edged the American League, 7-6, for its eighth consecutive All-Star Game victory. The Pirates Dave Parker, who recorded two assists during the game--in the 7th and 8th innings--was named the game MVP.)

Original made-in-Haiti ball features Commissioner Bowie Kuhn's signature and the 50th All-Star Game logo. 

Brand new ball has moderate to medium toning/staining of the leather, as depicted in sample photos. 

Note: Only original 1979 All-Star commemorative baseballs have "Haiti" stamped on the sweet spot. Balls without this mark or manufactured in another country are reproductions.

Always happy to combine shipping on mulitple orders!
