Quin Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Let's celebrate the dude who could do this while facing constant death threats and racism, just because he was threatening Ruth's record (he also received an outpouring of love). And then let's celebrate the same dude who could have fun and voice a wacky role like Hank Aaron the 24th, the worst athlete of all time, in Futurama: B1dFKt.mp4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I shouldn't be shocked either. 86 years is a heck of a run. We can't help but inmortalize these athletes that did incredible things. I think that's why it's surprising. RIP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWINFan Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Simply put, one of the greatest of all the time. During his time only Willie Mays was greater. No one else came close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before my time, and I haven't heard about it, but were there seasons with double All Star games??? Even still, he didn't make the ASG in his first and last seasons. That's it.

Saufley Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I still have a 1960 Topps Hank Aaron baseball card. The legends from my younger days are sadly "passing" away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth noting that 4 of those came during those weird double All-Star game seasons. Still. An All-Star in twenty one seasons is fucking insane. He received MVP votes in 18 of those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 It's been an absolutely brutal stretch lately. RIP to the best to ever do the dang thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Dude also did it during one of the most brutal offensive eras in modern baseball. It's so sad when this happens, realizing a guy that went through it all can't come on tv for an interview one last time. So nice knowing we can hear their stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Ladies and gentlemen, and those too young to have watched him play, Hank Aaron was and is an inner ring Hall of Famer. Still recall 714 as if it was yesterday. Rest in Peace Hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
