ATLANTA — He 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.

Born in Mobile, Alabama, on Feb. 5, 1934, Henry Louis Aaron was one of eight children born to Herbert and Estella Aaron.


Although he did not make that team, he did make an impact and returned to school to get his diploma.


Aaron received his COVID-19 vaccine at Morehouse.

RIP Hank

Yes indeed and no steroids. No pampering. None of it.

I remember besides Mr. Aaron being homerun King he was always such a gentleman it seemed. Class.

There was an article flags will fly half mast in his honor.

Heaven just got real exciting.
