How did the braves fans on the site miss this one?  34 years ago today, on April 8, 1974, an elder outfielder by the name of Hank Aaron launched an Al Downing pitch into the left-center field stands for a record breaking home run.  Yes, it was on this day that Aaron broke the Babe’s career home run record, belting out number 715.  It was the Braves’ home opener versus the Dodgers.

Congrats to Aaron!
