Hank Aaron, 37, powered the Braves past the Cubs 5-4 with his 3t homer of the year and 631st of his career, driving in 100 RBIs and moving to 3,243 hits to sixth on the all-time list. He eyes Babe Ruth 714 and Stargell this season, saying only Willie Mays and himself have a realistic shot.

Texas Still Tops in Conference
Texas remains the dominant force in the Southwest Conference as durable seniors depart for the pros and reinforcements raise questions.
