The last year slugger Hank Aaron would don the Atlanta Braves cap was 1974, the season in which he surpassed the legendary home run king, Babe Ruth, in career home runs with 715 - a number depicted in lights to the right of Aaron’s realistic portrait by eminent artist Jon Ren, here in its original 1993 acrylic rendering for the Hamilton collector plate series. Acrylic on board, this gold framed (24 x 24”) piece, entitled “The Hammer,” is encircled in a blue fabric matte (matte is marred by a few stains).
