Al Downing | 50 Years After Hank Aaron Broke Babe Ruth’s Record
Description
Chasing a record once thought to be unbreakable, Henry Aaron battled through discrimination and death threats to become the all-time home run king. As the man who threw the fateful pitch that resulted in #715, Al Downing joins Bob Kendrick to discuss that historic night on April 8, 1974. And hear reflections from Dusty Baker – the man who was in the on-deck circle as history was made.
