Stunned. Shocked. Can't seem to find the words in describing how I felt when I read that Mr Aaron passed away today. Just heard his voice less than 3 weeks ago after he got the vaccine and he said he felt great. Wow. True gentleman. Class act. Great man. The true home run king in my eyes. My condolences to his family, friends and fans. Thank you Mr Aaron for showing class, dignity, talent and grace on and off the field. Rest easy sir and God bless you.
What an astonishing career he had: -755 Home Run -2297 RBI -3777 Hits -1957 World Series Winner with the Milwaukee Braves, That team was one of the greatest team ever. Source: National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown R.I.P. Hank Aaron God Bless
The greatest. Look what he went thru and look at the stats but more than that look at the man. Why can't other athletes do the same thing without all the antics we see
RIP Hammering Hank. You will be missed. I saw him in St. Louis. Bob Gibson was pitching. Aaron got the only run in the game, a solo home run, in the top of the first. Bob continued on; he pitched the whole 9 innings. Game over in less than 2 hours.
@@eandsm4620 Lol! I remember field box seats were at the most maybe $5.00 apiece. I have turned my back on all professional sports. For one, I refuse to pay the astronomical high prices of tickets and concessions; number two, most of the athletes are virtue signaling spoiled brats. It's really a shame because I used to be a huge baseball fan.
@@easycharlie6739 Been living out west in the sticks, since '85. So, very few games for me. Last one I attended in St. Louis was 1998; it was the Diamondback's first one at Busch. My brother and I attended. We had seats in the nosebleed section. For batting practice, we snuck in on the first base side. They shagged out people all around us, but not us, and it was a lovely up close and personal view of the players, the whole game! Big Mac hit three that evening; quite the show! I attended SIU-C. Met an old man; he was quite the fan. He wasn't driving anymore, yet we'd go to many a game (I'd chauffeur) on Senior/Ladies Day . . . the .50 price was with my Jr High girlfriend and her dad loved the game. She would only go to the game to look at the boys, what a waste!
One of the very best and also one of the most under-rated players ever. It's remarkable just how rarely Hank is mentioned among the all-time greats nowadays. RIP Hammer. You were nothing but class.
Under rated? He is the all time leader in runs batted in. 3rd in total hits. Depending on how you view it-First in homeruns. Subtract his 755 home runs and he still has over 3000 hits. Based on stats alone he has a legitimate claim to GOAT and you say he is under rated. Henry Louis is the quiet superstar. Never flashy or flamboyant. Just did his job game after game. Ridiculously consistent.
Hank Aaron was a Baseball icon who at age around about 10 years old screen the Braves play the Cincinnati Reds I can't re MN ember as much I did see Aaron play he did through a lot of Death threats Breaking Babe Ruth record 714 Homers through racism an American on and off the field him dying is a great loss to the Baseball world a true legend
I had the pleasure of being in Cooperstown on 2019 Induction Day to see him receiving a standing ovation from all his HOF peers and from a multitude of 55,000, unforgettable moment. His eldest daughter Gaile was born in Puerto Rico when he came to the island to play for the Caguas Criollos in 1954. The Baseball world has lost a great player, an ambassador and a 1-derful human being, R.I.P. Mr. Aaron. Blessings from San Juan.
Hank Aaron was not only the greatest Baseball Player and Home Run King, but He was also the Martin Luther King of Baseball. I will see you in Heaven, Hank. Tell Eddie I said HI.
If Aaron played his entire career in the giant media market of NYC there would have been a famous folk song written about him. He had a better career than Mantle, better than DiMaggio. If you take away all of his 750+ HRs he STILL had 3,000 hits! Arguably the greatest baseball career ever.

Yep! I grew up in Cape Girardeau, Mo. Remember seeing him play at Busch Stadium.

Those were the golden era ballplayers.

RIP to #44. I can’t imagine what his salary would be today. My baseball cards of all my idols are gone. So sad

Koufax and drysdale called him bad henry
This was a very nice tribute to Hank and I enjoyed the video a lot.
But come on dude... do your research. Aaron had 132 RBI in 1957 - not 137 (2:20).
The baseball hall of fame should be ashamed of themselves for not voting in Steve Garvey into the baseball hall of fame.
Jose Carranza This may not be the ideal moment for that sentiment. Today belongs to Henry Aaron.
@@vestibulate I know but I wanted to put this in their latest video.
@@josecarranza7555 don't blame the HOF itself, it is the voters, mostly arrogant sportswriters who personally disliked him....
