RIP... Hank was THE sports (not only baseball) legend when I first started following pro sports as a kid. Found his card in the third or fourth pack of baseball cards I ever got, right after he had broken the HR record, and that is still probably one of the most exciting moments of my childhood.
RIP to a legend

I have never seen a man so revered walking into a room filled with other Hall of Famers than Hank Aaron. He was a giant in so many ways, and his death today, many who have spoken to him in recent weeks, has left his closest friends in disbelief.

The grace, dignity, class and courage with which Hank Aaron pursued the alltime home run record was truly amazing. That record, rightfully, should still be his. RIP.

What a great, great baseball player, ambassador for the game and human being. R.I.P. Hammerin' Hank. The world is a lesser place without you in it.

Long time Phoenician!
Henry Aaron was consistent and he was clutch. And a great human being.

This seems more sad than celebratory because of all the horrible things he went through. The treatment of him by fans during the HR chase was as bad as it gets.
FTR I think his talent would’ve transcended era. If you watch his swing he has insane wrist power. If you take away every HR he hit during his career he’d still have over 3,000 hits.

Excellent point! He and Ernie Banks generated their power with their wrists.
Except for the few musclebound sluggers, all ballplayers should specifically
include wrist exercises in their preparation, whether swinging for line drives
into the gaps or home runs.

Bud Selig, Commissioner Emeritus of Baseball, will give the eulogy at Henry Aaron's funeral on Tuesday. Selig and Aaron were best of friends.

There is a push in Atlanta,,where they're talking about changing the Braves name
to the Hammers. In honor of the passing of Hammerin' Hank Aaron
The Atlanta Hammers. I like it!
It hits the nail on the head . . . 'Sorry about that.
