1964 Topps #300 Hank Aaron
About Hank Aaron
Five 1964 Topps cards trace Aaron's 1963: three leaders cards (batting #7, home runs #9, RBI #11), his series-4 base card #300, and the fifth-series Tops in NL card #423 shared with Willie Mays. He led the National League with 44 home runs and 130 RBI and finished third in batting at .319, coming within a whisker of the Triple Crown. He also stole 31 bases, becoming the third player to reach 30 homers and 30 steals in a season and the first to pair 40 home runs with 30 steals. He finished third in the MVP vote.
Henry Louis Aaron broke in with the Milwaukee Braves in 1954 out of Mobile, Alabama, after a brief stop in the Negro American League with the Indianapolis Clowns. A right fielder who batted and threw right-handed, he spent 21 seasons with the Braves and two with the Milwaukee Brewers, retiring in 1976 with a .305 average, 3,771 hits and 2,297 RBI, still the major-league record. He won the NL batting title twice (1956, 1959), led the league in home runs four times, and took the 1957 NL MVP award as the Braves won the World Series. A 25-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner, he was called Hank by Braves public relations director Don Davidson, who thought the shorter name made the quiet young star more accessible; teammates turned it into Hammerin' Hank. On April 8, 1974, in Atlanta, he hit his 715th home run to pass Babe Ruth as the career leader, a record he held until 2007 while enduring racist threats throughout the pursuit. Aaron finished with 755 home runs and holds career marks for RBI, extra-base hits and total bases. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1982, his first year of eligibility, with 97.8% of the vote, and afterward held Braves front office roles, including senior vice president. He died in 2021.
