Hank Aaron has passed away at the age of 86. One of the greatest who will ever step foot on a Baseball field. One of the greatest professional athletes.

23 years in the Major Leagues. Born in Alabama. Played from 1954-1976.

Hall of Fame class of 1982. All Star every season except his first and last. 2 batting titles, 3 Gold Gloves, an MVP. World Series Champion. And of course 755 Home Runs (never hit more than 44 in a season).

3,771 total hits and a lifetime Batting Average of .305. Never struck out 100 times or more in a season.

RIP legend. There will never be another like him

Continues to be a rough stretch for baseball with so many HOFers passing. RIP Hank :'(

Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.

An absolute legend. Born too late to see him play, but as a lifelong Braves fan he has been a hero since I first heard his story.

RIP.

RIP to a legend

RIP. Sucks that they let Bonds break his record. At least AROD had the decency to quit early at 698.

RIP to the real Home Run King!
