funny, one of the things that I remember most vividly is the billboard that was behind the bullpen..."Think Of It As Money"..I think it was a credit card advertisement or something. Fun memories, remember how they had built up Hank's chase for 715 the whole offseason after the 73 World Series concluded.
Aaron sat on 713 all off-season. Immense hype and hoopla. Plenty of hate mail and even death threats. Then he comes out on opening day in Cincy and hits 714. No time wasted. Then in game 4 in Atlanta with the whole country watching on Monday Night Baseball on cue Aaron goes out and calmly hits the HR his second time up. Pressure, what pressure? And the guy was 41.
Wow, time flies.
Thanks- I was not at my desk when I posted.
