The Civil Rights game which takes place in an MLB ballpark each year pays tribute to the historic struggle of African American baseball players and the barriers they have broken within the sport. The 2010 game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds took place on May 15th at the Great American Park in Cincinnati. The Cardinals beat the Reds 4-3. In the sixth, Drew Stubbs hit a two-run triple to help secure the victory for the Reds. The game ended when Cincinnati short stop Orlando Cabrera threw out Skip Schumaker, who was trying to score the tying run at home plate. Both the Cardinals and the Reds wore replicas of their 1954 uniforms. Some of the highlights of the weekend included Willie Mays, Billie Jean King, and Harry Belafonte receiving MLB Beacon Awards and a keynote speaker address by former congressman and US ambassador Andrew Young. This jersey was actually game used during the Civil Rights Day game this year. A Steiner Sports Letter and MLB Hologram of Authenticity are both included.
