Hank Aaron, Longtime MLB home run king dies at 86

[aridbud]

Hank is the one man that Muhammad Ali said he idolized “more than myself.” He became known to the world as “Hammerin’ Hank.”

Legendary Atlanta Brave and Major League Baseball record holder Hank Aaron died Friday at the age of 86, according to Aaron’s daughter.

Aaron finished with 755 career home runs, holding the record for 40 years until he was passed by Barry Bonds in 2014. However, he has said the home run record wasn't his most important statistical accomplishment. Aaron still holds baseball's all-time record for most runs batted in, with 2,297!!

Loved watching him play.
