"It's disappointing to see only 1,300, but being a professional ball player I feel like the 1,300 who came are entitled to see you play as hard as you can," Aaron had said following his home run. "We've got to have a contender," said Manager Eddie Mathews. "I think that's the answer. Gimmicks won't do it. We need a winner." 1 Atlanta has drawn only 726,520 in 64 playing dates at" home this year, while 1,457,016 watched Aaron and the Braves on the road in 73 playing dates.
