Hank Aaron broke the HR record. He is being honored at the Braves home opener.

I love the fact that he is more proud of the fact that he never struckout more than 100 times in a season.

The worst part about Aaron's HR is the fact that of all people not in attendance, Bowie Kuhn didn't attend.

Never got a straight answer why but I bet it had to do with what happened in Cincinnati.

Just imagine if they would have put Aaron on the cover the day he hit the record breaking HR.

No offense but was Bowie suppose to travel to every Braves game once Hank got to 714 so he could "by chance" see Hank hit the record breaker "that" night?

Don't worry everyone left Fulton county stadium after he hit it and it was only the second inning

No but it was the home opener and there was a chance it would happen that night, along with the fact he was in Cincinnati for the first series. Really not a great PR move on his part.
