Description: After fan voting for Major League Baseball's All-Star Game was abandoned in 1957, the practice returned again in a more modern form in 1970. With computer ballots sponsored by Gillette distributed to fans around the country, dad, mom and junior could select the starting position players in each league for the mid-summer classic. That system still remains similar today, making this ballot a real piece of baseball history. The 1970 Gillette ballots mark the first time "high tech" would meet up with fans to select the position players in sports' greatest all-star classic. Probably the most interesting thing about the ballots is the list of players selected by Major League Baseball to be included in the vote (the Braves' Rico Carty would be a successful write-in winner for an outfield spot). Along with Mays, Aaron & Clemente are names like Uhlaender, Laboy & Mitterwald. Take a stroll down baseball's memory lane with a rare piece of baseball history. Shut your eyes and you can see Pete Rose slamming into Ray Fosse. In mint condition and unpunched (the ballot, not Fosse!).
