Hank Aaron and Frank Robinson have to be two of the most under appreciated super stars in the history of baseball. I was 11 in 1974 and distinctly remember watching the game on TV on April 8th. It is one of my fondest childhood memories. I always loved Vin Scully's call of Aaron's 715th. It can be heard at the 55 second mark on the audio clip located below.
