The 1970 game was. The NL won 5-4 in 12 innings. The winning run scored when Pete Rose plowed Ray Fosse at the plate. The throw easily beat Rose, but the ball came loose as Rose collided with Fosse.

The throw did not "easily beat Rose." Fosse was blocking the basepath without the ball and Rose and the baseball reached Fosse at about the same time. The ball didn't come "loose" because Rose plowed into Fosse before he had possession of the baseball.
Great news about the 2015 All Star game.
