What cards would look like if I had my way.

If only these 12 favorite Cincinnati places were still around.
1971 Topps Dick Allen All-Star In his only season in St. Louis, Dick Allen was selected to his 4th All Star game. Allen came to the Cardinals in a 6 player trade that famously included Curt Flood. Flood refused to report which in turn ushered in the Free Agent era. 1971 Topps Glenn Beckert All-Star In his 2nd All Star appearance, and his 1st start, Glenn Beckert was 0 for 2. In his 4 career All Star games Beckert was hitless in 7 plate appearances. 1971 Topps Don Kessinger All-Star Although known more for his glove than his bat, Kessinger went 2 for 2 in the 1970 Mid-Season Classic. He singled to center twice, once in the 2nd and again in the 5th. 1971 Topps Tony Perez All-Star Although most of his career was spent on 1st, Perez was moved to 3rd to make room for Lee May's bat. When May was traded to the Astros, Perez resumed his role as 1st baseman.

Jonathan India of the Cincinnati Reds bats in the fourth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies at Great American Ball Park on April 16, 2023 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The 1972 All Star game marked the 3rd appearance for Lee May and his only as a starter. It was also his only appearance in an Astros uniform. He singled in his first at bat and was stranded at first when Joe Torre struck out. But in the bottom of the 9th he hit into a fielder's choice that drove in Billy Williams to take the game into extra innings. He also made an impact on the field, turning a 3-6-3 double play and fielding an unassisted double play. Joe Morgan made his first All Star start in 1972. It was also his first in a Reds uniform. In his 5th plate appearance of the game he got his 1st hit. It was a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th and he was given MVP honors. Appearing in his 5th consecutive All Star game, Don Kessinger went 0 for 2. He was replaced by Chris Spier in a double switch in the 6th inning. After putting up gaudy numbers and winning the NL MVP in 1971, Joe Torre's numbers dropped significantly. He went from hitting .363 with 137 RBIs in 1971 to hitting .289 with 81 RBIs in 1972. Still more than respectable and enough to earn him a spot on the All Star roster.
