Who was the pitcher when Hank Aaron hit his first major league home run?

Answer 1

Richard Arndt, a Milwaukee Brewers groundskeeper, came up with the ball when Hank Aaron hit his 755th and final home run over the left field fence on July 20, 1976. He supposedly offered to return the ball to Aaron under the condition that he could hand it over in person, but this request was denied. Arndt was subsequently fired for refusing to surrender the baseball. In 1999 he auctioned it with a starting price of 850,000 dollars but cancelled the auction due to low bids. Andrew Knuth of Connecticut later bought the ball for 650,000 dollars and now keeps it in a "very safe place," according to Knuth.

Answer 2

Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run in Alanta, Georgia. The name of the stadium at that time is tough as they have changed it I believe 3 times since 1965. I will have to go with Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium.

Answer 3

Aaron hit the first of his 755 home runs on April 15, 1954, two days after his major-league debut. He hit the homer off St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Vic Raschi, who earlier in the game yielded Aaron's first-ever hit, a single.

Answer 4

The two pitchers that gave up home runs to both Aaron and Bonds are Rick Reuschel and Frank Tanana.
