For many baseball fans of a certain age, it’s hard to believe that a half-century has passed since “Hammerin’ Hank” Aaron did what was believed at the time to be unthinkable.

Join us in Bernheim Hall to celebrate the 50th anniversary of baseball legend Henry Hank Aaron’s historic home run. Our speaker of the hour, Mr. Randy Louis Cox, will share his book 715 at 50 – The Night Henry Aaron Changed Baseball and the World Forever, and his account of witnessing “Hammerin’ Hank” on the playing field at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium on April 8, 1974, which was quite possibly the single most significant moment in sports of all time.

After Mr. Cox’s talk, a question-and-answer session will be followed by a book signing and reception in the Armbrecht Briskman Meeting Room.
