Hank Aaron is greeted at home plate by his Braves teammates after hitting a two-run home run in Game 3 of the 1957 World Series at County Stadium in Milwaukee on October 5, 1957 — the first World Series game ever played in Milwaukee. The Yankees had already turned the afternoon into a rout. Milwaukee starter Bob Buhl was knocked out in the first inning, New York led 7-1 by the fifth, and rookie Tony Kubek, a Milwaukee native playing his first major league game in his hometown, homered twice for the Yankees while Mickey Mantle added another in a 12-3 win before 45,804. Aaron's homer was the home crowd's one big moment: Johnny Logan led off the fifth with a single, and Aaron drove a 3-and-1 pitch from reliever Don Larsen — making his first Series appearance since his perfect game the October before — into the deep right-center field seats. Milwaukee won the Series anyway, in seven games. Aaron hit a three-run homer off Tom Sturdivant in Game 4 the next afternoon, a game the Braves stole in the 10th when Nippy Jones showed umpire Augie Donatelli the shoe polish on a ball that had grazed his foot and Eddie Mathews followed with a walk-off two-run homer to win it 7-5. In Game 6, Aaron tied the game with a seventh-inning home run off Bob Turley before Hank Bauer answered in the bottom half to win it 3-2 for New York. Lew Burdette, traded away by the Yankees six years earlier, beat them three times — complete games in Games 2, 5 and 7, the last two of them shutouts, the last thrown on two days' rest with Warren Spahn sick with the flu — and took the Series MVP award with a 0.67 ERA. Aaron batted .393 with three home runs and seven RBIs, capping a season in which the 23-year-old won his only MVP award, led the league with 44 home runs and 132 RBIs, and clinched the pennant with a walk-off home run on September 23. ⚾ Burdette beat his old team three times with two shutouts; Aaron hit .393 with three home runs.
