Saw that and fondly remember following his chase of Babe Ruth’s home run record. I was in the Army when Hank hit number 715.
A great athlete and man is gone. RIP Hank Aaron and thanks for the memories.
Meanwhile, we still have Willie Mays.

R.I.P. Hank. Heard on Rush he had gotten the COVID vaccine 2 weeks earlier and was in great health before this.

I bought three autographed baseballs about 6 or 7 years ago, Yogi Berra, Hank Aaron, and Willie Mays. Willie better get right with Jesus.

Rest in Peace Hank. I did get to see him play a couple of years at the end of his career. He was strong mentally and physically.

I remember watching this on television back when I was growing up in The Bronx. I wonder if the proper authorities are tracking down the two guys who caught up to Hank as he rounded the bases for cross tracing purposes?
