If you�ve visited the Aaron exhibit at the Atlanta History Center, an enlargement greets you as you enter the section on Aaron�s Milwaukee Braves years.

This has GOT to be one of the earliest photos of Aaron, no? Beautiful photo.

I saw a couple of Type 1s get auctioned off recently -- those were from 1952 or so, when he was getting on a train to go to a minor league team (Indianapolis Clowns?). I even put in a couple of bids -- which ended up like 5-10x below the hammer price, or something embarrassing like that.

That photo is great. Thanks for sharing. That Hake�s auction had some great items up for sale. I came up empty as well.
