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. |

August 31, 1990. Ken Griffey Sr & Jr play together on the same time, marking the first time in baseball history that a father and son player were together in the same lineup.

I hope it is ok to post here.
As those who follow this thread know, I love lineup cards. It's an area I have been researching and collecting for many years. And throughout that time, I have almost never sold or traded a lineup card of major significance. Recent circumstances in my personal life have led to the decision to sell some major pieces. Those include Ripken and Brett's 3000th hit game. Frank Thomas, Pedro Martinez and CC Sabathia's MLB debuts. WS clinching lineup cards from 1981 (Dodgers), 1999 (Yankees) and 2018 (Red Sox). And milestone games from Griffey (400th HR), Bonds (700th HR), Henderson (final career SB) and Billy Wagner (1st career save). These items are all available in the current Heritage Auction. If anyone has interest in these items, I hope you consider bidding. |
