Hank Aaron as a Young Man

Note the hands.

Update: I happen to think that this is a visually stunning picture. Look at the bat, how it stands out. Look at the shadows and the focus on Aaron.

Nice picture of Hank, Bonds was once that size to! Don't care what anyone says, the "61" were still the highlight of my baseball life. They were honest and the guy was GREAT!! He carried the pressure of beating a icon better then any of the so called stars of today! 61 in '61 was the most exciting baseball story of my life. The next best thing was the Twins series wins!

The hands are OK in this pic. It was earlier in his career that he had his hands switched. And he still hit the ball out!

Yes, the hands are correct. I don't think that he ever batted cross handed at the major league leve.
