THIS DAY IN SPORTS HISTORY- APRIL 8

Number 715

"The average person can't realize what a nightmare this has been. The last 10 days of the season, all winter, spring training, right up till today. Now I'm just tired. Not let down- just tired. I'm beat."

-Hank Aaron

45 years ago tonight 40-year-old Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run off Los Angeles Dodger Al Downing, breaking Babe Ruth's 39-year-old record at Atlanta Fulton-County Stadium.
