Features
He set the stage by tying Ruth's record of 714 in Cincinnati, on Opening Day of the '74 season. Then, 4 days later and in front of a hometown crowd of 53,775 and an estimated 35 million television viewers, the Braves' slugger delivered the record-breaker. Aaron had walked in his first at-bat of the game, drawing an explosion of boos. But in the fourth inning, with Darrell Evans on first, Aaron took a 1-0 pitch out of the yard. The Braves erased a 3-1 deficit with 4 runs in the inning and went on to a 7-4 victory. Other players visible are C Joe Ferguson, 3B Ron Cey, SS Bill Russell and LF Bill Buckner.

It's April 8, 1974, at Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta, and Hammerin' Hank Aaron has just launched a pitch from Los Angeles' Al Downing toward the left field wall. The long wait is over. With career clout number 715, Aaron passes Babe Ruth on the all-time home run list. Aaron had cracked his 713th homer on the second-to-last day of the '73 season, creating a winter-long buildup for this historic moment.
