The Mobile native broke baseball’s all-time home run record while playing in Atlanta, site of Tuesday night’s game.

The capstone of Aaron's remarkable career was his 715th career home run, breaking Babe Ruth's record. Aaron hit it, one of the most famous home runs in baseball history, on April 8, 1974, but the number 715 is what endures. Tuesday's All-Star Game came on July 15 (or 7/15), so there was a little serendipity there.

Major League Baseball paid tribute to Hall of Famer Hank Aaron on Tuesday night during the All-Star Game, paying homage to the greatest player in the history of the Braves' organization and one of the true legends of the sport.
