Hank Aaron is beaming from ear to ear on this original 9 1/4" x 7 1/4" photo after he collected his 3,000th hit. Stan Musial and a Braves official are with Aaron. The following appear on reverse: "May 19 1970" date stamp and Boston Herald Archives hologram.
The original Boston Herald was founded in 1846 by a group of Boston printers jointly under the name of John A. French & Company. The paper was published as a single two-sided sheet, selling for one cent. This is an original photo, in many cases a Type 1 printed at the time of the event. File copies or type 2 photos are also found, and can be distinguished by the markings on the reverse.
