A father and son duo who used to work for the Atlanta Braves are facing a lawsuit in which they have been accused of theft, unlawful possession and attempting to sell memorabilia related to Hank Aaron's historic 715th home run.
The lawsuit, filed by the Atlanta National League Baseball Club, LLC (the Braves), states that William G. Acree, Sr., who worked for the Braves since the 60s, "unlawfully claimed" and "gifted" his son, Benjamin John Acree (Ben), the historic bases and home plate that were on the field in 1974 when Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record.
