This image features Hank Aaron hitting his 715th career home run on April 8, 1974, in Atlanta. With this historic clout, Aaron passed Babe Ruth to take the top spot on the all-time list. A longtime right fielder for the Braves, Aaron was the model of consistency while playing in the big leagues, averaging .305, 33 home runs, 95 runs scored, and 100 runs batted in, in each season of his 23-year career. A great all-round player who could steal a base (240 career) as well as defend his position (three Gold Gloves), Aaron is currently first on the career lists for home runs (755), RBI (2,297) and total bases (6,856), and third in hits (3,771), runs (2,174) and games (3,298). Impressive numbers like these helped earn Aaron election to the Hall of Fame in 1982.
