It’s hard to put into words how significant Hank Aaron is, but this probably says it best: he belongs in the Mount Rushmore of baseball. He’s best known for breaking Babe Ruth’s career home run record, which he did by hitting his 715th on April 8th, 1974. But summing up The Hammer with this one achievement is a disservice. He was the model of consistency, appearing in every All-Star Game from 1955-1975. And while Aaron didn’t hit more than 45 home runs in a single season, he hit 20 or more in 20 straight, which is a record. He also won two batting titles (for average) and three Gold Glove Awards for his fielding, and lead the Nation League in RBIs four times. To top it all off, Aaron was an even better person; a true gentle giant.
(Hank is shown here with his brother, Tommie Aaron, who played 437 games in nine years with the Braves franchise.)
