Apr 27, 1971 | 600 Homerun |

Braves outfielder Hank Aaron joins Babe Ruth and Willie Mays as the only major league player to hit 600 career home runs. His historic homer, a 350-foot drive over the left field wall, comes off Gaylord Perry in the third inning of a 6-5 ten-inning loss to the Giants at Atlanta’s Fulton County Stadium.

On April 27, 1971, at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, Atlanta Braves slugger Hank Aaron becomes the third man to reach the 600-home run milestone. Aaron hits a two-run 350-foot blast in the bottom of the 3rd off Giants’ hurler (and future Hall of famer) Gaylord Perry, joining Babe Ruth and Willie Mays in the exclusive club. Aaron will eventually surpass both players, becoming the game’s all-time home run king. The Braves will lose the game 6-5 in 10 Innings
