Aaron, Robinson highlight year in sports
The sports year of 1974 was marked by the usual number of important games, controversies and firing and tingles. As it happened it was as if things uno one story as No.1, two stories do seem to stand out.
doubtedly would break the record this year, the significance of the record makes this the top story.
These two stories involve men who set precedents of major importance. Both men were feats and achieved their feats in baseball.
baseball is viewed today, no one can deny that tradition and history hold a greater place in baseball in any other sport. John Allen
The men were Hank Aaron and Frank Robinson. Aaron was the first player to record of 714, and Robinson became the first black manager in the major league. What they did deserves special recognition.
Ruth's home run record was

AARON—The number one story of the year has to be Aaron. Although Aaron began to take a break behind Ruth's 714, and un-

home run, an American folk hero died in many people's modern-day athlete surpassing the old-timer. They resented a black man replacing a white man at the top of the record books.
Aaron's home run record appears safe for at least
another 20 years, and probably longer. People will just have to accept that Hank Aaron is now the home run hitter of all time.
ROBINSON — Robinson's appointment as manager of the team ranks second number one in the league. Again, Robinson's achievement wasn't significant to baseball as it is the American sport's structure.
Although baseball was one of the first sports to integrate its players, it was one of the last to integrate its positions. Qualified blacks have been around for years, yet the baseball establishment has not.
When Robinson became the first black manager, the last major sport had struck down its color line.
It might be significant that about two months after the Robinson announcement, Sumner Gourneau was invited to deputy coach basketball at Auburn. Basketball & Athletics Guidance thus became the highest ranking black official in professional sports and the possible successor to Coach Shawn Johnson, who is Assistant Janice J. Larson.
The rest of the Top 10 are as follows:
