Henry Aaron Moves Out of Way of Pitch
Description
A slide of a black-and-white, full-length photograph of Henry Aaron, seen in the right-handed batter's box leaning backward away from a high pitch. The photograph is from the third base side of the field behind home plate. Aaron has his back to the camera, making his jersey number 44 visible on the back of his Milwaukee Braves uniform. The unknown St. Louis Cardinals catcher reaches high with both hands as he catches the baseball. An unknown home plate umpire is in the foreground, with his back visible. In the background are a Cardinals first baseman and an umpire.
