On September 23, 1957, Hank Aaron hits a game-winning home run to clinch the pennant for the Milwaukee Braves. Aaron’s two-run shot in the 11th inning gives the Braves a 4-2 win over the second-place St. Louis Cardinals. Milwaukee’s accomplishment marks the first time since 1950 that a team that plays its home games in the state of New York team hasn’t finished first in the National League.
