Aaron broke the most sacred record in baseball, and it wasn't just a moment, it was the climax to a long drama that represented both the best and the worst of America. And the moment itself is visually stunning with the two young men in their enthusiasm running the bases with Hank, and then the mob scene at home plate. Thankfully, Vin Scully was there to memorialize it, one of the great calls of all time as well.
