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:

What is amazing is how consistent he was.  Dude never put up more than 47 HRs in a season.

 

25 time All Star.  TWENTY-FIVE TIME ALL STAR.  

 

Haha in 23 seasons.  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.

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.

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.
