Regarding Aaron -
I saw him hit #751 at the Oakland Coliseum, and got his autograph before the game when he signed at the side of the field for a few minutes.
Strangely, Billy Williams also hit one that day (#422) and he also had exactly 4 more in his career.
Regarding Stanton -
At this point in the season in 1961, Maris had hit 58, and Mantle 53.
At this point in the 1927 season, Ruth had hit 57.
