This has the three original members of the 500 home run / 3,000 hit club: Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Eddie Murray. This is a rare piece because it includes what are considered to be the only legitimate members for this prestigious club.

Hank Aaron spent 21 seasons with the Milwaukee / Atlanta Braves in the NL before playing for the Milwaukee Brewers of the AL for the final two years of his career. In 1999, The Sporting News ranked Aaron fifth on their "100 Greatest Baseball Players" list. He held the MLB record for career home runs for 33 years, and he still holds several MLB offensive records. He hit 24 or more home runs every year from 1955 through 1973, and is the only player to hit 30 or more home runs in a season at least fifteen times.

Aaron holds the record for the most seasons as an All-Star (21) and for the most All-Star Game selections (25). He also won three NL Gold Glove Awards. In 1957, he won the NL Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award when the Milwaukee Braves won the World Series. He holds MLB records for the most career runs batted in (RBI) (2,297), extra base hits (1,477), and total bases (6,856). Aaron is also in the top five for career hits (3,771) and runs (2,174). He is one of only four players to have at least seventeen seasons with 150 or more hits. He also is in second place in home runs (755) andat-bats (12,364), and in third place in games played (3,298). At the time of his retirement, Aaron held most of the game's key career power hitting records.

Mays, nicknamed "The Say Hey Kid", spent most of his career as a center fielder for the Giants before finishing with the Mets. Mays won 2 MVP awards and ended his career with 660 home runs, 12 Gold Gloves, 3283 Hits, and a .302 batting average.
