A very subtle thing I love about this one is that if you were sitting in the stands at Crosley Field in 1970 (the last one) and you were looking at the cover of your scorecard, you'd be looking at a shot of Perez crossing home plate in 1969 after an apparent home run, being greeted by Bench and Rose.

Very nice! I grew up in Ohio (1955-1977) and never liked The Big Red Machine. Good for Tony for getting a statue....but is he really deserving?
