One of the greatest baseball players of all time and the real homerun king

Sad to hear of his passing. I read that he was just vaccinated against COVID-19 earlier this month to show that they were safe.

Good luck getting any more black people to take it after that.

Hank did far more to fix race relations standing at the plate then kapernick did kneeling on the sidelines.

I saw him hit a homer when Dad took me to the '72 All-Star game. The tickets were $8.

Hank Aaron did it WITHOUT all the steroids that plagues sports these days. He was a true, honorable, down to earth baseball player. Most of the players these days have the, what's in it for me mentality.

Heard about this earlier today. RIP Mr. Aaron. He was an American treasure & a great man from everything I ever heard about him. A true NLB legend.

Yep, typical lame response from him.

What I was also always so impressed with is the number of hits and lifetime average. He's number 3 in all times hits!!! Also a lifetime BA of 305!!! Amazing for a guy always remembered for homeruns! Truly an all around player, and a gentlemen who I agree, did more for civil rights than any of these other clowns. He was a class act!

It's always amusing to see the descendants of those who kept ol' Hank out of the majors lecture others on race.
