Hail the Hammer. Who will eclipse the Home Run King’s prestigious record of 755 career home runs? Barry? Ken? Alex? Sammy? Or no one. Until that moment that someone hits #756, Hank Aaron will remain the owner of the most admired record in all of baseball (Cal Ripken’s consecutive games streak is probably a close second). Offered is a full, unused purple ticket to the 1974 opening game at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, the game in which Hammerin’ Hank hit #714. It was a 3-run shot off of Jack Billingham to tie Babe Ruth’s home run record. What a way to start his last season with the Atlanta Braves. He would hit #715 in the Braves’ home opener. Ticket is EX-MT with only slight damage to one corner.
