I chose other and would go with Hank Aaron. The impact of him breaking Babe Ruth's HR record, the Jackie Robinson like abuse he received as he neared the record, and his continued work as a champion of civil rights. He not only had a "moment" or a "first" but has continued to be an influential figure throughout his life.
