Playing outfield and designated hitter for the ATLANTA BRAVES ,HANK AARON took over BABE RUTH'S  home run record in 1974 (714) and ended his career with 755 home runs, setting a home run record that lasted 33 years..

ITP V.021 EDITORS NOTE: 

 R.I.P. Hank Aaron, perhaps the best home run hitter ever. No steroids or performance enhancing drugs, as he broke BABE RUTH'S home run record. To me Hank is the home run king, No steroids or performance enhancing drugs. Hank was a wonderful player, class act and role model.
