Things I Missed… in 1974

I noted there were things I remembered about that day, but keep in mind, I was 13 and like most 13 year olds, somewhat oblivious to the world around me. Hank Aaron came into the 1974 season 1 home run back of Babe Ruth. I think I remembered that, but what I didn’t know, or certainly didn’t remember, was that Aaron & the Braves started the season at Cincinnati.

Hank Aaron dies at 86 He broke Babe Ruth s home run record

At what should have been the pinnacle of his long career in baseball, Henry Aaron was getting bags of hate mail many containing death threats and living in a storage room at the stadium, accompanied by bodyguards when he ventured out. It was 1973, the country remained divided along racial lines, and Aaron, a Black player for the Atlanta Braves, was closing in on Babe Ruth’s holy career record of 714 home runs. To some, it was sacrilegious that a Black man would threaten the record of the immortal Babe. Aaron eventually tied, then surpassed Ruth’s record, finishing his remarkable 23-year career with 755 homers. Even at that, he felt shortchanged.
