I was a HS senior and vividly remember watching on TV. The Braves started the season with three games in Cincinnati, where Hank hit number 714 on opening day to tie Ruth. Everyone was hoping he would’d hit 715 in Cincy, but do it in Atlanta.
 
I was there for 700. Rushed home from Reynolds High school turned on TBS and Hank hit 715 on opening day at Riverfront in Cincinnati.

That was 714 then hit 715 off Al Downing and reliever Tommy House caught it in the left field bullpen.
 
Just missed it. I was in the ATL for 713 on a rainy, dreary final day of the season. Had a chance to see 714 but missed it by one game.
 
I was in Cincy for opening day when Hank got 714. A packed Riverfront cheered him around the bases. Special.
