On this day in 1975 the Brewers took a 5-0 lead early and beat the Tigers 8-4 at County Stadium. Hank Aaron, DH'ing and batting cleanup, led the offensive attack with four hits. One of them was a triple. He drove in two runs in the game.
This game was Aaron's second four-hit game as a Brewer and the 49th of his career career, and it also turned out to be the last one. Forty-nine four hit games is the 16th highest total in major league history. Another former Brewer is in the top five:
| Rank | Player | Four hit games |
| 1 | Pete Rose | 73 |
| 2 | Stan Musial | 67 |
| 3t | Paul Molitor | 62 |
| 3t | Wade Boggs | 62 |
| 5t | Paul Waner | 61 |
| 5t | George Brett | 61 |
The hits gave Aaron 3653 for his career. He eventually finished with 3771.
With help from the B-Ref Play Index, happy birthday today to 1970-72 Brewer manager Dave Bristol. He turns 79. We covered his birthday in this space last year.
