Correct
Raschi #1
Gross #100
Kline #200
Craig #300
Belinsky #400
McCormick #500
Jackson #537 (passes Mantle)
Simpson 3000'th hit (I know, not a home run)
Perry #600
Twitchell #649 (passes Mays)
Brett #700
Billingham #714 (ties Ruth)
Downing #715 (passes Ruth)
Drago #755 (last HR)
I'm planning on doing some sort of display of other players significant to Hank Aaron. I'm also planning to use Jim Bunning (Hank's only inside the park HR), Mike Lum (first player to pinch hit for Hank), and Lindy McDaniel (Hank's only walk off grand slam). I tried to get players' cards from the year when the events occurred.
