Wrong on that point. Aaron had faced death threats. especially during the off season 73-74, that he would be shot and killed before he crossed home plate when he hit 715. If you notice, Aaron's mother runs to him, hugs his neck and won't let go. She later commented, "If they were going to shoot my boy, they were going to have to shoot me too." An Atlanta Policeman was assigned to be Hank's bodyguard, you see him in light brown jacket with binocular case strap over his left shoulder, in the case was his .38 revolver. He would later say that it was just a gut reaction that kept him from going after the two white guys who ran up to Aaron between 2nd base and 3rd base as he didn't feel they were a real threat. The two turned out to be some young guys from middle or south Georgia that were just wanting to be part of the moment. The officer also holds the home run ball after Brave's relief pitcher Tom House ran it in from behind the left field fence. When Hank says, "I thank God it's all over", the record was his and the pressure was lifted off his shoulders. But little did Bill Buckner (Dodger Left Fielder who climbed the fence in vain effort to catch 715)know he would also later face his own death threats after his error in Game 6, Boston Red Sox vs. New York Mets 12 years later in 1986. At the 4:08 spot on the video, you see the On Deck batter walking towards Home Plate as all watch 715 fly out of the park. That On Deck hitter "Dusty Baker".

If anyone wonders why Vin Scully is so admired, you need look no further than this clip. A hugely dramatic moment in the history of sports. He makes the call, and then has the good sense to shut his mouth. I once read he went to the back of the booth, got himself a glass of water, and drank it. Slowly. When he resumes, he puts the event in the context in general history, territorial history, and baseball history without reciting the Magna Carta. Today's broadcasters would have never shut up. The three guys in the booth would have blathered senselessly with no regard to the context of the event. Plugs for sponsors would have taken precedence over appropriate conduct.

I am thinking of how Hank does his dinger swing. He was a right handed hitter - I am right handed. So I am guessing for this great swing, he does a leg point straight with his L leg, though a bit flexed, pre-swing. As he does the actual swing, his knees flex more, and in the actual follow through as the ball hits the bat for his home run swing, his hips twist quickly to the L on both legs, and even adds an extra bit of wrist action - an extra push of the R wrist after the follow through (likely happening soon after the swing - 1/16 of a second after the ball hits the bat) to get some extra hitting power to the ball on his bat - and that is, in my opinion, my analysis of Hank Aaron's classic home-run swing.

I remember watching this with my grandmother, who raised me. She taught me my absolute love for baseball. She was to many an unemotional person, but with everything she had gone through in life, she had to learn to keep her feelings deep and buried. I only seen my Grandma cry twice in my life. the first was when Aaron hit 715. She has been a Braves fan since they were in Boston. The other was her 75th birthday, when I got her a Braves jersey. The name on the back was GRANDMA and the number was 1. It was literally the first time she told me that she loved me. She may never said it in words, but her actions over the years more than showed it. that is why baseball will always be a part of my life.

@ChrisDutch 9 жыл бұрын

Amazing he had over 500 homers against righthanders. What's spooky about this is that the home plate umpire was Lee Weyer, the First Baseman was Steve Garvey and the second baseman was Jerry Royster ---- the same three men who would be on the field on September 9, 1985 when Pete Rose broke Ty Cobb's all-time hit records.

@FlatbedFred 9 жыл бұрын

The second baseman was longtime Dodger speedster Davie Lopes.Royster actually got traded to the Braves from the Dodgers not long after that.. Its funny the left fielder climbing the fence is Bill Buckner of Red Sox fame and the pitcher in the bullpen who caught the ball is Tom House throwing specialist who works with NFL QB's including Todd Marinovich when his dad was trying to make him the robo QB.Glad I found this

Ralph Kiner worked for 52 years doing mostly TV work with the Mets (1962-2014), and was loved for his affability and storytelling (and his more-than-occasional gaffes, such as "Today is Mother's Day, so to all you moms out there, happy birthday!"). He hosted the postgame program "Kiner's Korner" that was a hit with Mets players and visiting players alike. That being said, as a game-caller, he's probably considered the third of the three original Met announcers. Lindsey Nelson was far more renowned nationally as a baseball and college football guy, and it is Bob Murphy, not Kiner, who is considered the forever voice of the Mets. Murphy worked for the club from its inception through 2003 and (as the principal radio guy) called most of the seminal moments in the club's history to that point. Kiner also didn't do much play-by-play work, even on TV, after 1980 (at most three innings a night). So he really doesn't belong on a list with those other guys, great though he was. Of course any list is terribly incomplete without Ernie Harwell and Curt Gowdy, and even the exceptional Jon Miller.

For my money, the absolute pinnacle of Vin Scully's career, and of American sportscasting in general. The setup, the call, the silence (unfortunately edited from this clip; Scully stepped away from the microphone and let his listeners soak up the noise of the crowd and the fireworks for nearly two minutes), the commentary afterward. Everything is absolutely perfect. And he did it as the opposing team's announcer!

Living in Eau Claire, WI Hank Aaron is a local legend as he played here for a summer in 1952 as part of the minor league team the Eau Claire Bears. There's a statue of him out in front of the historic Carson Park baseball stadium, which is now home to the Northwoods League team Eau Claire Express. For anyone interested, there is a fine book about Aaron's time in Eau Claire called A Summer Up North. It's an interesting read documenting his move from the segregated south up to the Midwest at the age of 18 and all that went with that. For anyone who happens to travel through the area I suggest trying to catch a game at the ballpark during the summer. It's satisfying to sit there watching the ball game, imagining the summer when young Aaron used to leave his room downtown at the YMCA, walk down Lake Street and up the hill into Carson Park for what would be the humble beginnings of an amazing career.

I can't understand why he's hardly ever talked about as one of the greatest *hitters* of all time. I mean, obviously, the home runs are a big deal. But the man had a .305 average over a 23-year career, he's third in *total* hits of all time, he's still first in RBIs and total bases. And his number of strikeouts, particularly for such a power hitter, was stunningly low. He's definitely up there with Cobb, Williams, Musial and all the rest as a pure hitter.
