But a group of sports writers could only LISTEN to a description of the most debated play in All-Star Game history, the Pete Rose-Ray Fosse home plate collision, because the President of the United States, Richard Nixon -- truly an avid and knowledgeable baseball fan -- stayed until the dust settled at home plate in the bottom of the 12th inning. \"HEARD but not SEEN\" tells the best behind-the-scenes story, never told until now. It's the story of Cincinnati's rich baseball legacy, and of a long-gone ethic embodied in Pete Rose, who said before the game: \"I play it like any other game -- I play it to win.\" The punch line is a surprising exchange with Frank Robinson, one of the game's fiercest competitors ever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comserv LLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45495099883671,"sku":"9780977428397","price":1212.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780977428397.webp?v=1767151976","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/heard-but-not-seen-richard-nixon-frank-robinson-and-the-all-star-games-most-debated-play-9780977428397","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
