One of the biggest surprises on visiting the Hall of Fame years ago was how small Aaron's 1974 (715th homer) jersey was. I was shocked and just kept staring at it!! It didn't look like a midget's (little person's?) uniform or anything, but it was noticeably small to me.
You nailed it. In our heads, these guys are all huge.
