On this day in history, April 8, 1974, Hank Aaron breaks Babe Ruth's home run record


I was 5 yrs old and it's one of my earliest memories. My Dad made sure I was awake to see the record breaking swat.

Also went to the Met to see him play with the Brewers.
 





The power Hammerin’ Hank generated from his wrists was amazing.
