New Era’s latest drop takes us back to one of baseball’s most unique moments with this Navy Blue Houston Astros Gray Bottom 1968 All Star Game Side Patch New Era 59Fifty Fitted. This commemorative piece celebrates the historic All-Star Game held at Houston’s Astrodome, featuring a clean navy and gray colorway that perfectly captures the classic aesthetic of late 1960s baseball. Available now at exclusive_fitted for $54.99 in sizes ranging from 7 1/8 to 8, this 59FIFTY pays tribute to what remains the most extraordinary pitching showcase in All-Star Game history.

What made the 1968 All-Star Game so legendary wasn’t just that it was the first ever played indoors, but the incredible feat that it remains the only All-Star Game in history played without a single RBI. Willie Mays scored the game’s lone run on a double play after advancing to second on Luis Tiant’s wild pickoff throw, giving the National League a 1-0 victory. The pitching was so dominant that nine hurlers didn’t allow a single walk, with Juan Marichal throwing two perfect innings and Tom Seaver striking out five American League batters in this ultimate pitcher’s duel.

For Astros collectors and baseball history buffs, this fitted represents more than just team pride, it’s a celebration of Houston’s role in hosting one of the sport’s most memorable moments. The side patch commemorating this historic game makes it a must-have piece that connects the modern Astros franchise to a pivotal moment in baseball history, when the Astrodome showcased the future of the game under its revolutionary dome.
