Much like the end of Babe Ruth's career Hank Aaron's ended back where his began. Following the 1974 season the Braves traded Aaron the newly crowned Home Run King to Milwaukee for Dave May and minor leaguer Roger Alexander. As a designated hitter Aaron hit 12 home runs in 1975 to push his total to 745. His swan song in 1976 saw Aaron hit 10 more home runs with the last of his career coming on a pitch from Dick Drago of the Angels. His last at-bat in the majors was tainted with a little controversy. Aaron singled but he was replaced by pinch runner Jim Gantner who went on to score a run. Had Aaron scored the run he would have broken his tie with Babe Ruth for career runs scored. His manager said he took Aaron out of the game so he could get one last standing ovation from the fans. Offered here are Aaron's Milwaukee Brewers cleats attributed to his last major league season as a player. The Adidas cleats are Milwaukee Brewers colors blue with yellow trim. The laces are white and intact. The tongue of the right shoe has been cut just above the laces. Hanks number 44 appears on the outer heel of each in black marker. Stamped in gold on the side of each is adidas M.V.P. On the bottom of each is size 11-1/2 stamped. The cleats show nice game use and with the exception of the tongue being cut appears to have no further alterations of any kind. The cleats are accompanied by a handwritten letter of provenance from an individual who states in part these shoes were given to me by a family member of Hank Aaronsthey are the real deal. This claim aside the physical attributes of the cleats speak for themselves.
