Broadcaster Vin Scully's famous call of the Atlanta Braves legend's 715th career home run was edited during MLB all-star game tribute. Major League Baseball loves to celebrate its history and its iconic players, so it was only fitting that they put on a stellar tribute to Hank Aaron during Tuesday night’s All-Star Game in Atlanta.

Individually, MLB's recent actions are, frankly, depressing. Taken together, the deceptive editing of Scully's call is the latest sign Major League Baseball is attempting to distance history made on the diamond from the inextricable circumstances that created it off the field.

Eddie Mathews clubs his 500th career home run against the Braves while playing for the Astros. He became the seventh player in baseball history to reach that mark. 1968: Hank Aaron blasts his 500th career home run off Giants Mike McCormick!

The American and National League players are getting ready for the Home Run Derby. What’s cool is they’re honoring the past. You see Number 19 35, Babe Ruth hit his 714 home run with the Boston Braves. Nearly 40 years later, Hank Aaron broke Ruth’s record with his 715th home run in Atlanta.
