Just picked this up
April 25th, 1954 Braves vs Cardinals. Rookie Hank Aaron hits his 2nd career home run in this game. He goes 5 for 6 which is his first 5 hit game. Teammate Eddie Mathews also goes yard making this the first game (of 75) that the two would do this. Thats the highest in MLB. (He hit his first HR two days earlier here) this is the earliest Aaron HR I have seen.
