Atlanta Braves' Michael Harris II Wearing Hank Aaron Cleats to Honor Home Run Record

On April 8, 1974, Atlanta Braves outfielder Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's all-time home run record.

On April 8, 2024, Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II will wear a special pair of cleats to honor the legend's historic milestone.

Harris went on MLB Network ahead of the Braves' showdown with the New York Mets on Monday night, showing off the shoes. The left cleat has Aaron's No. 44 on the outside, while the right one has 715, which is how many home runs it took Aaron to pass Ruth exactly 50 years ago.
