Henry Aaron Hitting 715th Home Run
Description
A slide of a black-and-white, full-length photograph of Henry Aaron, seen watching the flight of the ball he hit for his 715th career home run. Aaron's body twists to his left, and he is looking over his right arm. He is holding his baseball bat with both hands over his left shoulder. He is wearing an Atlanta Braves home uniform. Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Joe Ferguson and umpire Satch Davidson also look on. The caption on the left side of the photograph reads, "One of a Series of 24 Pictures for use in Yearend Editions (NY20-Dec.3) -- Record Blast -- Henry Aaron, Atlanta Braves slugger, eyes flight of ball after hitting 715th career homer April 8, in game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Blast eclipsed by one the 714 mark held for years by Babe Ruth. Victim of homer was Dodger southpaw Al Downing. Dodger catcher Joe Ferguson and umpire David Davidson watch.
