Name the pitcher who surrendered Hank Aaron's first major league home run.
A. Vic Raschi
B. Lew Burdette
C. Don Newcombe
D. Joe Black
Answer:
A.
Aaron's first home run came in the top of the sixth inning off the Cardinals pitcher at Busch Stadium in St. Louis in 1954, as the Braves won 7-5 in 14 innings. Then age 35, Raschi had previously won 21 games for three consecutive seasons with the Yankees, from 1949 through 1951.
Batting sixth in the order, Aaron had three hits and drove in two runs.
