1972 Topps Hank Aaron #89

Is there a sexier stat than the Home Run? Honestly, I struggle to think of a more enthralling moment in sport. Few memories shake the imagination like a blast to end the game. Of course, as a general sport fan there are moments that are incredible to witness that have nothing to do with a solidly hit home run. But, let's face it: Chicks dig the long ball. Heather Locklear looked right through Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux. "Hey, have you guys seen Mark?" Chicks dig the long ball. Stat heads dig the long ball. The long ball makes a methodic game surprisingly intriguing to a number of clubs. (It bounces toward the shortstop/mid centerfielder in the Church softball league). A home run is impressive to see. Hank Aaron hit the hell out of it in '71 and earned a #89 in the set. Aaron could've done anything after the record. Instead he played - albeit on bad teams, he played on.

This particular card has some rough corners, especially on the bottom right where there is a pretty noticeable crease. It's not perfect, but it's a good solid card from the Hammer himself.
