US EditionMLB Recreates Hank Aaron's Historic 715th Home Run with Pyrotechnics During All-Star Game
FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, JUL 15 – Major League Baseball honored Hank Aaron's legacy with a high-tech tribute including projection mapping and pyrotechnics during the 2025 All-Star Game in Atlanta, witnessed by 41,702 fans.
- During the 2025 All-Star Game in Atlanta, the memory of Hall of Famer Hank Aaron was celebrated at Truist Park with a projection mapping and pyrotechnic tribute that recreated his historic 715th home run following the sixth inning.
- The tribute followed Aaron's death in January 2021, the Braves launching the Henry Louis Aaron Fund, and a $100,000 scholarship endowment announced last year at Tuskegee University, his home state Alabama.
- The presentation projected the April 8, 1974 Atlanta Stadium scene on the infield and video board, included Aaron’s footsteps, synchronized audio of broadcaster calls, and a fireball tracing the homer’s arc while 41,702 fans held cell phone lights.
- Aaron, a 25-time All-Star active from 1954 to 1976, hit 755 home runs and set records including 2,297 RBIs, the most extra-base hits at 1,477, and a total of 6,856 bases. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1982, and National League players honored him by wearing his jersey number.
- Despite some fans walking out or turning off their televisions, the tribute underscored Aaron’s cultural impact and MLB’s commitment to his legacy through funds, scholarships, and high-tech commemorations.
