Henry Aaron Sports Illustrated Cover April 15, 1974
Description
A color slide of April 15, 1974, Sports Illustrated cover shows Henry Aaron from the chest up in an Atlanta Braves home uniform, in Atlanta Stadium, on April 8, 1974, a short time after hitting his record-breaking 715th home run. Aaron is holding the ball from that home run above his head in his right hand. He smiles and looks slightly up to his left, seemingly acknowledging the fans. He appears to be standing on the field. Non-players are partially visible behind him, one of whom is taking a photograph. In the blurry background is the distant grandstand. The lights atop the stadium overhang are on and contrast against a black night sky. The wording on the magazine cover reads, "715". Information written on the physical slide reads: "SI Cover #715"
