Milwaukee BrewersA great day for a ballgame

Have armed the home security system and am heading to Miller Park in a few minutes for a tailgate party.

Today in baseball history: Hank Aaron hit his first major league home run as a member of the Milwaukee Braves in 1954.

In a game against St. Louis, Aaron hit his first MLB home run at the expense of Cards' pitcher Vic Raschl. He played in 122 games for the Braves and hit .280 with 13 HRs and 69 RBIs. His season was cut short in September when Aaron broke his ankle sliding into a base. This was the only major injury that Aaron would suffer in his career.

So, in honor of hammerin' Hank, I'm heading to the ole ballpark.

Sure wish this would be there when I arrive...
