WATCH: Hank Aaron hearse makes stop at 715 home run marker at old Braves stadium

ATLANTA — The processional for Henry Louis Aaron took a little detour on Wednesday afternoon, making a turn onto Hank Aaron Drive.

The hearse carrying the "Home run King" made one last stop before making its way to South View Cemetery.

It drove along what used to be the bases of the old Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, home of the Atlanta Braves, to the very spot where Aaron's record-breaking 715th home run landed.

A marker, and a portion of the outfield wall, still sits in the vacant parking lot that is now owned by Georgia State University.
