They are celebrating Aaron today in ATL and ESPN has him in the booth maybe for the whole game. DVR it. Great stuff and a Great American. Hammerin' Hank! He just spoke about one season where he had 44 HRS and 37 K's. Unreal.

What a legend. Always enjoyed Hammerin' Hank.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

And a class act all the way.

Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and Stan Musial talk... this is terrific.

Hammerin Hank autographed a card for little Peoria Matt. Still have it

Why he isn't celebrated more, I'll never know.

Which card, Matt? This was always my favorite Aaron card, and one of my favorite cards regardless, of all time:

Nice....

Guy had 3700 hits, too.

I had to look that up because it sounded unbelievable. He actually didn't have any seasons with fewer strikeouts than homers...but he was close in 1969 with 44 HR and 47 K.

Maybe Trump got to him. still amazing numbers.

Something kept the guy grounded/sane for all this time. Would love to meet his wife. Off the top of my head I would put his ability to walk away from a high profile profession on par with Truman. They didn't seem to need the limelight and quit when the job was over. I can't think of a candy bar or coffee maker named after the guy. He was simply consistently great and walked as far as I knew walked away.

I agree with that, but....

Because he wasn't flamboyant and he never got in trouble for anything he said or did. Perfect statesman for the game.

Yeah, that's a good one.

Trying to post a pic of Hank Goldberg from my phone. Just imagine it.
