This bronze statue shows Hank Aaron hitting his 715th--and Major League record--home run in April 1974. Located outside the northern entrance to Turner Field in Atlanta, the statue was sculpted by Ed Dwight Jr. in 1982. A plaque at the base of the statue states the following: HENRY LOUIS "HANK" AARON 715TH HOME RUN APRIL 8, 1974 ATLANTA-FULTON COUNTY STADIUM DEDICATED SEPTEMBER 7, 1982 SCULPTOR - ED DWIGHT, JR.
