Ron Reed… you might not have heard of him. I had not heard of him prior to looking at Hank Aaron’s 715th home run boxscore. Turns out Ron was the winning pitcher in the game The Hammer hit #715. I sent Mr Reed a baseball asking to write a story about the game Hank hit #715. What I received was something I never knew… Ron wrote that he was the winning pitcher the game Hank hit his 500th HR. He was also the winning pitcher the game Hank hit his 600th HR. That means Ron got the win in three big milestone games for Hank Aaron and they were teammates for only 6 years. Hank hit a lot of homers over those 6 years to have Ron be the winning pitcher in each game!
