On April 8, 1974, Hank Aaron etched his name into the annals of sports history by hitting his 715th career home run, a feat that surpassed the legendary Babe Ruth and challenged the deep-seated racial prejudices of the era. This episode of Deep Dive examines the immense pressure Hammerin’ Hank faced, balancing athletic excellence with a barrage of hate mail and death threats at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium.
