No one could have imagined that the slender, 160-pound rookie would eventually break Babe Ruth's career home run record. In 1955, Hank Aaron became the Braves' starting rightfielder and he won the NL batting title in 1956 with a .328 average and 26 home runs.

His all-time career mark of 755 home runs was built on a remarkable 20-season stretch from 1955 through 1974. He hit 40 or more home runs in 8 of those seasons, 30 or more in 15, and 20 or more in all 20. He also batted over .300 fourteen times. His top batting average was .355 in 1959; his best home run season was 1971, when he had 47. Interestingly, he hit 44 home runs--his uniform number--in three different seasons, 1957, 1963, and 1965.

In his first home game, on April 8, Aaron hit his 715th home run to break Ruth's record. The pitcher was Al Downing of the Los Angeles Dodgers. After the 1974 season, Aaron returned to Milwaukee, which had a new AL team, the Brewers. He spent two years there as a designated hitter. When he retired, he held all-time major-league records for extra base hits, 1,477; total bases, 6,856; and runs batted in, 2,297.

Aaron then returned to Atlanta to work in the Braves' front office, where he became one of the first blacks in upper-level management as vice-president of player development.
