It is weird to think there was a day when Willie Mays and Hank Aaron were tied in career homers! It happened in 1972 and by chance they would be playing each other each with 648 career home runs each. Aaron was hot on Willie's heels and the aging Mays was about to be passed. Cool paper caption notes that both had a ways to go before catching Babe Ruth, seeming to imply that neither would get there! A nearly perfect image from a local New York photographer (Dan Farrell, who took famous photos of JFK's funeral in 1963) and one that has never been offered before!
