On this day in 1972, Hammerin' Hank Aaron passed Babe Ruth for the most home runs with a single franchise.
Aaron hit his 660th and 661st career home runs for the Braves, a record he extended to 733 with Atlanta, which still stands today.
“He was the best center fielder I've ever seen.”
- Hall of Famer John Smoltz on his long-time @Braves teammate and new @baseballhall teammate, Andruw Jones
On this day 60 years ago, Braves pitcher Tony Cloninger had a performance for the ages by hitting not only two grand slams, but also throwing a complete game 🤯
He's the only pitcher to hit multiple grand slams in a game and only one of 13 players to do so 🔥
