January 22, 20215 yr Let's celebrate the dude who could do this while facing constant death threats and racism, just because he was threatening Ruth's record (he also received an outpouring of love). And then let's celebrate the same dude who could have fun and voice a wacky role like Hank Aaron the 24th, the worst athlete of all time, in Futurama: B1dFKt.mp4

RIP to a true goat
January 22, 20215 yr I shouldn't be shocked either. 86 years is a heck of a run. We can't help but inmortalize these athletes that did incredible things. I think that's why it's surprising. RIP
January 22, 20215 yr Just now, Dick Allen said: RIP. I just saw him the other day getting his Covid shot. He seemed healthy. Please please don’t let it be from vaccine complications
January 22, 20215 yr https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/aaronha01.shtml His BBref page. Just astounding.

January 22, 20215 yr Simply put, one of the greatest of all the time. During his time only Willie Mays was greater. No one else came close.

Haha in 23 seasons. Before my time, and I haven't heard about it, but were there seasons with double All Star games??? Even still, he didn't make the ASG in his first and last seasons. That's it.

January 22, 20215 yr I still have a 1960 Topps Hank Aaron baseball card. The legends from my younger days are sadly "passing" away.

January 22, 20215 yr It's been an absolutely brutal stretch lately. RIP to the best to ever do the dang thing.
January 22, 20215 yr Dude also did it during one of the most brutal offensive eras in modern baseball. It's so sad when this happens, realizing a guy that went through it all can't come on tv for an interview one last time. So nice knowing we can hear their stories.
January 22, 20215 yr Ladies and gentlemen, and those too young to have watched him play, Hank Aaron was and is an inner ring Hall of Famer. Still recall 714 as if it was yesterday. Rest in Peace Hammer.
