Default 1970 Clemente Question

$(KGrHqZ,!q!FCqZPKLmUBRr+soKOSQ~~60_57.jpg

OK, I was looking at this card (not mine) and it's weird. The shot was pretty clearly taken at Shea Stadium, as Topps was wont to do, but here's the problem. Roberto Clemente is wearing his home uniform and this is definitely not Forbes Field. How does that make any sense?

The only All-Star game at Shea was to my recollection played in the year it opened, 1964. The National League players would've worn their home uniforms. Could this photograph be that old, or am I missing something?

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
