Ryan faces Aaron for the final time game used dugout card
Recently back from the framer, I finally completed a project that I have been contemplating for quite a while.
This is the game used dugout card from the June 15th, 1976 game in which HOF Nolan Ryan faced HOF great Hank Aaron for the final time. Aaron came into the game as a pinch hitter late in the game and was fanned by the All-Time Strikeout King Nolan Ryan (5,714 career strikeouts). Ryan pitches a 2-hit shutout with 9 K's and defeats the Brew Crew 1-0. An epic last duel involving two MLB greats.  Ironically, Aaron also faced Nolan Ryan in his ML debut game on 9/11/66 and flied out. Original period-correct snapshots of The Express and Hammerin' Hank wearing a Milwaukee Brewers uniform in his final season in the MLB. This dugout card was loaned to the (now closed) Ryan Center museum in Alvin, TX in 1999 (Ryan's HOF Induction Year). The red placard was created for the display by the Ryan Center. Aaron signed the dugout card IP for me back in the early 1990's at a signing in So Cal. Nolan signed the card as well before returning it to me in 2002 after being on display for 4 years. Many thanks to net54 good-guy Gary Scamehorn for allowing me to complete this project by finding the Aaron Brewers snapper that I had been searching for.

October 2, 1974 would be Hank Aaron's final game for the Braves. During the offseason, he would be traded to the Milwaukee Brewers. While he had played his entire career for the Braves, the trade was a return to his baseball home, as the Braves had been in Milwaukee for the first 12 years of his career before moving to Atlanta.
In the 7th inning of the game, Hank Aaron stepped up to the plate. With the bases empty and one out, Aaron would hit one final homerun, sending the ball over the left field fence. He would round the bases for his 733rd home run and his 3600th career hit, 2202nd career RBI and 2107th run. After the inning, he was removed from the game. This would be his final at-bat for the Braves. While Aaron does not have the distinction of playing his entire career with one team, his performance for the Braves is firmly established at the peak of what one player has accomplished on a single team: - 733 home runs - Most all-time for one team - 2202 RBI - Most all-time for one team - 3600 hits - 3rd most all-time for one team (behind just Ty Cobb and Stan Musial - 2107 runs - 2nd all-time for one team (behind Ty Cobb) - 11628 at-bats - 2nd all-time for one team (behind Carl Yastrzemski) - 142.7 WAR (BR) - 3rd most all-time for one team (behind Walter Johnson and Willie Mays This lineup card originates from Braves manager Clyde King's personal collection.
