The Famous "Green Box"

What's a green box and why is it so famous? Well, just like a baseball dugout, that's where the stories are told. The "Green Box" appeared on the Baseball Historian web site during our inception back in 1999 and has been holding kangaroo court ever since. Enjoy the stories...

Hank Aaron's Batting Power
Hank Aaron of the Braves hit more home runs, 17, off of Hall of Famer Don Drysdale then any other pitcher.

Drysdale once said, "I always thought Aaron had a lot of Stan Musial in him. From the pitchers' mound they both seemed to coil at you. The only sensible thing was to mix the pitches and keep the ball low, and if you were pitching to spots it was important to miss bad. If you missed good, and the ball got in his power zone, sometimes you were glad it went out of the part and not hit back up the middle."

During his 23 year career, Hank Aaron led the league fours times in homers, doubles and RBI's. Aaron is baseball's career home run leader with 755.
