Produced clearly to capture the dollars being spent on the baseball card boom, Grenada issued 5 sheets of stamps featuring major league players. Pete Rose was featured in the lower corner of the yellow bordered stamps. Major League Baseball had given permission to Philatelic International to use the Major League logos for use on these issues. The stamps were issued a few months after the decision to ban Rose from baseball for gambling infractions. The stamps were prepared and printed well in advance of the decision. After the stamps were released, the representatives of Major League Baseball asked for the Rose stamp to be removed. Philatelic International complied and re-printed the yellow border sheet and removed the image of Rose

Hank Aaron - right fielder for the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers, 1954-1976. Hammerin' Hank held the Major League record for career home runs when he surpassed Babe Ruth on April 8, 1974 to hit his 715 home run off Al Downing of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the fourth inning in Atlanta. Aaron would hit his 733 on October 2, 1974, in his farewell game with the Braves. However Aaron decided not to retire and was traded to the Brewers so he could finish his career in the city he started in. Aaron would finish with a career total of 755 home runs, a record which stood for 33 years...

1973.08.11

Aaron received an outpouring of public support in response to the bigotry, hate mail and threats he received. Charles Schulz in his Peanuts cartoon, August 1973 saw Snoopy attempt to break Ruth's record and in turn receives hate mail. Snoopy would fall one home run short, as Charlie Brown gets picked off of first with Snoopy at bat..

1982 Hank Aaron was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame
