  • Carolinian Atlanta, Baseball Finally Honors 'Hammerin' Hank The year was 1982. The occasion was a baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves in the old stadium in Atlanta. It is the first Major League Baseball game I remember going to (I was at Opening Day for the Cubs at Wrigley Field in 1977, but I was only five months old). I turned to my grandfather and asked him what the "715" inscribed on a large baseball-shaped placard behind the fence at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium stood for. "That's where Hank Don Costello Aaron hit the home run that broke Babe Ruth's record," he said. At that tender age I had no idea of the coronation that had taken place eight years earlier between the same two teams. I thought that Babe Ruth was the home-run king. On April 8, 1974, Henry "Hammerin Hank" Aaron belted an Al Downing offering over the left-centerfield fence, eclipsing the mark of baseball's most noted legend. A new home-run king was crowned. Or was he? Aaron's life leading up to and after that moment was anything but enjoyable. He received hate mail from numerous people and death threats from others while chasing Ruth's record. Major League Baseball's commissioner at the time, Bowie Kuhn, was 600 miles from Atlanta that night. Apparently, Kuhn was more interested in giving a speech to a crowd of Cleveland Indian fans. Ted Turner was just the son of a billboard business owner, not the media mogul that he is today. It seemed for a while that the two people who ran out of the stands to join the Hammer running around the bases were more popular than Aaron f *• was. Last Thursday, on the 25th anniversary of that historic night, baseball made yet another attempt to rectify the mistakes made two and a half decades ago. Now Major League Baseball will present the Hank Aaron Award to the best all- around hitter in each league. "It will be of the same stature as the Cy Young and MVP awards," Bud Selig said Thursday night. We'll see if the media sees it as that. I doubt it. The ceremony was held at 755 Hank Aaron Drive in Atlanta, also known as Turner Field. The absence of money from my bank account kept me from making the trek to Atlanta that night. That's the reality of college. I would have given anything to be there. Watching the ceremonies unfold last week, I did all I could to hold off the tears of joy for Aaron and his wife, Billye, who have worked m tirelessly since ™ the end of Aaron's career to help underprivileged children. After the Olympics in 1996, the city and the Braves razed the facility across the street that played host to Aaron's moment that will live in baseball history. The only part of the old stadium left is the section of the fence and that baseball-shaped "715" placard where Aaron's record-breaking blast sailed. It is surrounded by a parking lot used by white- collar season ticket holders, many of whom many have no idea of the history that unfolded on the green grass that once covered the area where they rest their SUVs and BMWs. It is a shame. A damn shame. I have made the trip to Turner Field three times since its opening, and each time I walk over to that sacred spot in the middle of the asphalt cash cow. As if standing in front of the Vietnam Memorial, a strange sensation travels up my spine as I approach the "Hammer's" monument. This campus is filled with Braves fans who have no idea who Bob Horner, Dale Murphy, or Glenn Hubbard are. Many have no clue that Yankees manager Joe Torre was manager of the Braves team that went to the playoffs n 1982. That's okay. The Braves weren't that good in those days. But please, those of you who claim to be Braves fans, who Hank Aaron was and is. Watch him on Home Run Derby, the 60s show that pitted home run hitters of the time against each other that shows on ESPN Classic each week. Recognize him as the person who may have kept the Braves from deserting Atlanta for their fourth home in another city. Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire couldn't wear Hank Aaron's jock strap, much less deal with the travails that confronted Aaron when he was chasing the Babe. Baseball has taken the first steps to recognize Aaron. He will never receive the recognition he deserves. get to know Monday Uifr© Makes Sfar Trekkies Happy i*'t*» feui L°* tf» cable: Is culloudee a REAL Wire4 Small Toum? Two good WCW Pay Per Views in a row...I'm impressed! Spring Stampede was an incredible event and I for one am glad that Diamond Dallas Page is the new WCW Heavyweight Champion. Yeah, you heard right. DDP took out Flair in the Four-Corner's Match Sunday night to become new champ. It was also good to see Sting and Savage back in action. I mean Sting looks to be in great shape and he pulled off some impressive moves this week. However, the strangest occurrence on Spring Stampede had to be Hogan's mid- match leg injury. DDP applied a figure-four on Hogan on the ringpost, but Sting pulled DDP away. Hogan then started complaining about his knee to the WCW trainers and security. He was then taken to the back never to be seen again. I've heard from various sources many different stories. Some say that Hogan was booked to win the belt, but due to his knee injury, DDP was the fallback guy. Others say that Hogan was just playing some kind of angle and the booker (Kevin Nash) simply gave the people what they wanted; a new champ. Now to the Monday night reports...Oh, I forgot, my &*A()*$# cable was out in my dorm Monday night. First they turn off the power all day Sunday, but that's okay. I still got to see the PPV. But this makes the second time that my cable's been out on Monday night. So, live from the Internet...again...the Raw and Nitro Reports!! It seems that every organization is split ting in the WWF. First, DX split last PPV, and now The Brood has left the Ministry, and Shane McMahon has kicked his dad from the Corporation! I was wondering how WWF was going to do it, but I think that they can make Vince out to be a good guy with this Undertaker angle without making Austin out to be a heel. Vince getting applause instead of boos when he enters the arena, that's almost as weird as hearing boos for Ric Flair...Oh wait...that's happening now. Anyway, it looks like The Rock and Austin will duke it out once more at WWF Backlash along with Shamrock vs. The Undertaker and Mankind vs. Paul Wight in a Boiler Room Brawl. Due to my absence from the paper last week, I didn't get to give my opinion of Nitro's new look...Trekish, very Star Trekish. And I heard that the wrestlers are a bit peeved with the slightly raised symbol on the ramp and they're making bets on who will trip over it before WCW gets the hint to fix it. Goldberg just about did last night. Anyway, Nash booked himself to face DDP for the World Title at the next PPV. But didn't Goldberg beat Nash Sunday night? Oh well, Nash is booking the matches now. Servo Says: "If you got anything hanging between those legs, I'll be waiting!" Sting challenging DDP Monday Night. Ya know, I thought Nitro was supposed to be G rated. But hey, if Steiner can say "cherry- poppin"...
