Number six-hundred forty-nine (649) was hit on June 10, 1972 and it is significant because it passed Willie Mays and made Hank Aaron the all-time home run leader in the National League.

Home run number seven-hundred fourteen (714) tied Babe Ruth and seven-hundred fifteen (715) made Hank Aaron the all-time home run leader in the Major Leagues.

Eddie Mathews once said, "I don't know where Hank Aaron will break Ruth's record but I can tell you one thing — ten (10) years from the day he hits it three million people will say they were there."
