Hank Aaron OEP #3

Our fine art photography – originally featured in SPORT Magazine – brings your favourite sporting legends to life in print form! Each image is exclusive to our gallery and stems from the physical negative. 

It’s hard to put into words how significant Hank Aaron is, but this probably says it best: he belongs in the Mount Rushmore of baseball. He's best known for breaking Babe Ruth's career home run record, which he did by hitting his 715th on April 8th, 1974. But summing up The Hammer with this one achievement is a disservice. He was the model of consistency, appearing in every All-Star Game from 1955-1975. And while Aaron didn't hit more than 45 home runs in a single season, he hit 20 or more in 20 straight, which is a record. He also won two batting titles (for average) and three Gold Glove Awards for his fielding, and lead the Nation League in RBIs four times. To top it all off, Aaron was an even better person; a true gentle giant.

(Hank is shown here with his brother, Tommie Aaron, who played 437 games in nine years with the Braves franchise.) 

Production time may take 1-2 weeks as most prints are made to order; please contact us via email (hello@thesportgallery.com) if you need your order rushed. 

Due to the small file size, images featured here may be low quality – the final product will be vivid and sharp.

Quality

Each reproduction is printed on 100% Hahnemuhle cotton rag paper using UltraChrome K3 pigmented inks and produced to the highest standard of archival quality available.

All frames are made to order. Framing is done by hand in Toronto and takes 2-5 business days, depending on the timing. We use only the highest archival quality framing materials, from acid-free matting, to conservation glass, to ensure our prints last many lifetimes. We use ArtCare mountboard and matboard, Tru Vue UV-coated conservation glass, and black Roma solid poplar frames from Italy. All of our materials meet museum standards for fade resistance and durability.

Open Edition Prints (OEPs) are available in different sizes to suit your space and budget.

Unframed prints ship in a heavy-duty tube to ensure prints are not damaged during shipping. When you receive your print it will appear curled but will flatten out when framed. A tube is the safest way to ship a print. Unframed prints over $100 ship for free within Canada.

Please note that due to the weight and fragility we do not ship framed pieces. We do have a selection of framed prints in stock at our Toronto gallery that are available for pick-up and select postal codes are eligible for local delivery of framed prints.
