Nevar23<p>My dad saved the newspapers from when Hank Aaron tied then beat Babe Ruth's home run record. I found them after he died and I was going through the ton of ephemera he kept.</p><p>I thought of maybe trying to sell them but I'm not sure what the market is for old newspapers, and as a Braves fan (mostly in the 90s) myself I find myself dragging my feet over finding out. Anyway, it's nice to look at and share them on anniversaries.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Baseball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Baseball</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HankAaron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HankAaron</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AtlantaBraves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AtlantaBraves</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ephemera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ephemera</span></a></p>
