Atlanta Braves Hank Aaron lets loose with a home run, his 699 in his career, during the seventh inning against the Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Stadium, Friday, July 21, 1973. The pitch came from Phillies pitcher Wayne Twitchell, the same pitcher Aaron hit homer number 649 off of. That was the homer that moved Aaron ahead of Willie Mays on the home run list. It was also a grand slam that tied Aaron with that record held by Gil Hodges. (AP Photo)
