面對投手阿爾·唐寧(ㄚㄦˇㄊㄤˊㄋㄧㄥˊ),阿倫擊中了第1球,將他職業生涯第715支全壘打轟出左中外野圍牆。

這一擊正式超越了貝比·魯斯(ㄅㄟˋㄅㄧˇㄌㄨˇㄙ)自1935年以來保持的714支全壘打的長期紀錄。

他的成就不僅僅是一項棒球紀錄;在民權運動時期,這是一個強有力的象徵,代表了面對偏見(ㄆㄧㄢㄐㄧㄢˋ)時的毅力。
Aaron later expressed that he felt a duty to succeed not only for his family but also for Jackie Robinson.
阿倫後來表示,他感到有一種責任要成功,不僅是為了他的家人,也是為了傑基·羅賓森(ㄐㄧㄝˊㄐㄧˊㄌㄨㄛˊㄅㄧㄣㄊㄙㄣˊ)。
