I was watching The Best Damn Sports Show's Top 50 Baseball moments and they showed Hank Aaron hitting his 715th hr. At that moment I thought I caught a glimse of the opposing team and thought it might have been Detroit but unless it was during the world series that wouldn't have made sense.

He hit his #715th off Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Al Downing, in the 4th inning, on April 7th, 1974.

The ego maniac Milo Hamilton tossed his partner out of the broadcasting booth so he could make the call (and he did his usual lousy job) they stopped the game for a little bit and didn't do much else. He hit it off the Dodger's Al Downing (who probably tossed him a grapefruit the way the Colorado tossed up meatballs to Craig Biggio the other day to let him get to 3,000 hits). Jose Lima used to toss up batting practice pitches to Sammy Sosa while he was chasing 61 with "the Pharmacist" MarRxK McWired.
