    It was in the early sixties (1962?) my Dad took me to the polo grounds to see the Mets play the Milwaukee Braves. Hank Aaron drove a line drive foul off the green pipe that served as a fence along the third base line. It zoomed up in the air and my Dad caught it....green paint stripe on the ball and all. Pitched my Mel Stotelmier if remember correctly. Lost that ball somewhere a long time ago.....Hank was a class act.

    What a great ballplayer, and what a great person.

    I was at the game in 1975 at Milwaukee County Stadium when Aaron hit is first home run as a Milwaukee Brewer. It got crazy in the stadium.
    RIP

    Yup, as noted he played his last 2 years back in Milwaukee. He made the All-Star team in 75 as a DH. His 25th All-Star team.
