I’m truly at a loss for words right now. What is there to really say about a man like Hank Aaron? His accomplishments speak for themselves.
He spent decades playing baseball, won a World Series, was a perennial all-star and a man who had few equals in this life.
The man, who played for the Brewers and Braves, finished his career with a staggering 755 home runs, which was a record that stood for years.
Henry “Hank” Aaron passed away at 86. ????
This hits hard. Great man. Strong man. Gentleman.
More than home run king.
He was so kind and so insightful.
Big @Browns fan. Told me a story more than 30 years ago about sitting in Dawg Pound with his mask
I loved him. #RIPHankAaron

Even though I’m not a huge baseball guy, I still understood the impact and power Aaron had on the game. Again, we’re talking about a man with few equals.
Now, at the age of 86, he’s passed onto the other side.
