Vintage May 16, 1970 photograph of Hank Aaron from the Braves as he blasts a double against the Cincinnati Reds and busts out of the box. It would be the 2998th hit of his career as he inched closer to the coveted 3000 mark. He would accomplish the milestone the very next day on May 17th. This is almost certainly the only example of this photograph in the hobby and it is stamped on the back by photographer Jack Klumpe. A new discovery that is being offered here for the first time ever and it grades a perfect 10/10!
