If you took away all of Hank's home runs, he would still have over 3000 hits. Think about that. If he had never hit a home run in his entire career, he would still have made it to the Hall of Fame.
In 1965 I was an 8-yr old kid in Milwaukee. Henry Aaron was my hero. It broke my heart that my team was leaving at the end of the season. Last game my dad and I went to, we sat in the right field bleachers and saw Hank hit a homer off Sandy Koufax. That's a memory I'll never forget. As an adult today I have a whole different level of respect for the man.
Some pitchers were sitting around discussing how to get out the best hitters. A name would come up, "low and inside." Another name, "slow stuff away." Hank Aaron's name came up, nobody said anything. Finally someone, maybe it was Koufax said, "Make sure no one is on base when he hits it out." Koufax said that he usually had a plan on every hitter on how to get him out. But with Aaron he never figured one out.

Maybe the generation that grew up to adults who remember sitting in a classroom reading the Weekly Reader with Mr Aaron's amazing accomplishment on the cover finally got a chance to cheer. WE, the kids, ALWAYS loved Hank Aaron. Mr. Aaron, God Bless you. You were and remain MY hero.
So true. As a 9 year old kidI had a Hank Aaron poster in my bedroom (and I'm white). All the white kids in my neighborhood LOVED Aaron. We loved Willie too, but we def loved Hank.
That's how I remember it too. I never knew any racist kids. I used to try to copy Hank Aaron's signature and wrote it every where. I even wore number 44. I'm glad to have lived back then. No matter what they tell you, it was a great time to be a kid. Having nothing only meant that you had to improvise and use your imagination. Beats the crap out of owning a "smart phone" any day...
His mental toughness. Is incredible. To be able to block out all that hate and focus on his job. His courage is incredible also. He didn't let death threats or hate mail stop him. Great man. I am proud to have been named after him.
Here in mobile, al they are tearing down hank aaron stadoum now... it maies me sick, we didnt have the best baseball team but we had a cool ass name and the last few years the baybears were pretty good. People in mobile,al just dont support the sports teams (mobile mysticks, mobile baysharks/baybears, mobile revelers bball, mobile seahawks arena football. Only the mysticks and baybears lasted longer than 5 years and were top of the league, but our town never supported them even when they were on top smh... we supported the mysticks during the 90s mainstream hockey blowup and the late 90s/early 00s baseball reemergence with the homerun race blowup... its still a shame that hank aaron stadium was chosen to be torn down instead of left vacant and standing with some real history behind it, built on satchell paige dr. Ala the black nolan ryan)
September 16, 2018: Hank, you are one of baseball's greats. (Envy and malice are nothing new for society.) Thank you for bringing your talents to the game!!! Kate
Hank Aaron my hero. I lived in Savannah during the 60s and used to listen to the radio and taped all his homers. He is one great American. May God bless him.
I remember watching number 715 April 8th 1974 I was 9 years old in St Louis watching it in my mother living room and just picture Al Downey rest in peace mr. Hank Aaron the greatest of all times I was always the st. Louis Cardinals fans chill mr. Aaron came to the plate
Hank Aaron and Roger Maris both payed a price for breaking Ruth’s records. Both men were basically shy and quiet, they didn’t have charisma. Ruth was a gigantic personality who dominated the headlines and practically invented the home run. Aaron also played for the Braves, so he wasn’t playing on a national stage like Willis Mays and Mickey Mantle. And he didn’t hit towering 500 foot home runs, like Ruth, he hit them 350 feet. But he was great all-around player, he could run very well.
alien observer Yes, Aaron played more games, but he has the most home runs. That makes him the Home Run King, by definition. See, I did that without calling you a name. Might want to try that.
alien observer Call it whatever you want; you don’t need to do that. What kind of criteria is this? You might not like it, but Babe’s record fell. What you could have said is that, by my own definition, B Bonds is the record holder. That would be true, but the asterisk there is beyond what I’m willing to accept. So, that’s the fun of talking about these things, yes?
I'm old enough (80) to have seen him play with the Brewers and the Braves. What a fantastic ballplayer and a very classy guy. As far as I'm concerned he is still the home run king. All the other guys who passed him cheated.
I agree .....Hank is the epitome of class..he had to play at a hi level facing all kinds of prejudice how he delt with we'll never know ...if he played in NY they would have named streets and buildings after him....
@RNE2224U that's not the discussion though. It's at bats and home runs. Hank has no where near the home runs ruth has with the # of at bats ruth had ruth is by far the king. If I hit 8 hrs with 20 at bats and you hit 12hrs with 60 at bats I'm a better hr hitter ..
Grew up in Wisconsin and I will always be a braves fan thanks hank.all time homerun leader. Drugs were not involved in his game. HOMERUNS WE'RE NOT EITHER JUST A HITTER
This first book I remember reading when I was a kid was just called hank Aaron I think it was like a kids biography yellow hardback. I must have read that a hundred times at least and it really was a great teaching tool because the parts about the Negro leagues really made an impact on me. Living legend.
Hank Aaron is still the homerun champ, he did it the right way. You could hit 50 homeruns a year (which he never did), for 15 straight years, and you still wouldn't break his record. Simply incredible
I had the honor and thrill to shake his hand. I don't care too much for celebrities as a group of people, but Aaron is a national treasure. He's like Ali or Frazier, like Di Maggio or Williams, like Jordan or Jerry West. He was crossing the street in mid-town Manhattan, walking with two other men. I passed, turned, and said, Mr. Aaron? "Yes?" he replied and stopped. I said, "May I shake your hand, sir?" He took my hand in earnest, like a good man. It electrified me. I maintain that a handshake is worth far more than an autograph.
I cant believe he won the MVP only once in his career. A career 305 hitter, all-time leader in RBI's, 755 career homeruns, 3700 plus hits. His consistency statistically year after year is truly unique. He is an easy argument for one of the top hitters to EVER play.
@@wolfencheepclothes9715 What do u mean? What isn't fair? Please explain. If you are talking about Aaron, at bats have nothing to do with the fact he was a career 305 hitter, averaged around 32 homeruns and 100 RBI's every year over 23 years. There is NO arguing that those statistics are incredible. He also averaged a crazy low 68 strike outs a year. For a hitter putting up his kind of power numbers, 68 k's/year is outstanding. The fact that he DID get many plate appearances is a result of how great he was. Staying healthy for all of those years is a rarity. I'm not saying he is the single greatest baseball hitter ever, but he is right up there.
I think the MVP goes to the player who gets a 100 and the extra credit problem on the test. Aaron got 95s year after year after year.... He wasn't flashy and he didn't play in flashy cities either. Mays and Mantle were flashy and they played in NY. And they had some A+ years. Aaron quietly got his high As. Make sense?
@@nicholasschroeder3678 it makes great sense. Makes me think of Rafael Palmeiro. Regardless of the steroid issue, he put up big numbers (288BA--33HR-105RBI 20 year career ave). He He never apparently didn't have a flashy enough season to ever win MVP
My grandpa was a barber who cut some of the Braves hair in Hales Corners, WI and he knew Hank Aaron personally from his contacts with those players and his frequent attendance at games. Did you hear what Hank Aaron said just after the 15:00 min mark? The people of Milwaukee LOVED Henry Aaron and his wife. The Aaron were treated like loved royalty while Henry played here. When I was a little kid, Henry returned to finish out his career with the Brewers and I personally saw his last at-bats. This whole documentary talks of how mis-treated Aaron was in the South, but it never discusses how loved he was in Milwaukee. Bias!
I remember a story Don Sutton told about Aaron. When he was fresh with the Dodgers, the pitching staff went over how to pitch the NL lineups in spring training. Mays: Hard stuff inside, breaking stuff away. McCovey: Hard inside, soft stuff away. Then it came to Aaron. Drysdale told a young Sutton, "Just hope nobody's on when he hits it out."
He was and is one of my favorite heros, and baseball player of all time l loved watching him beat Ruths record l loved God Bless Henry Aaron my hero jimmy campbell
One of the most graceful athletes ever. The only player who looked great after striking out, his swing was amazing!. I was at the 1972 All Star game in Atlanta, he hit a homer on his second at bat, one of the longest ovations ever!
Even when i was growing up, anyone that paid attention toabaseball KNEW thaT IF AARON STAYED HEAlthy he would hit more homeruns than Babe Ruth.....Arron was no surprise.....WELL DONE HANK AARON.....
If baseball had something like the _40/40_ stat back in *Aaron's* _Milwaukee_ days- Henry would have been a *household name* a *long time* before he started *bearing down* on _Babe Ruth's_ record.
Great look back at the career of Henry Aaron, even if some producer almost ruined it towards the end by including "Juice Head Bonds," but I'm sure most baseball fans know who the "real" Home Run Champion is and always will be. RIP Henry Aaron....
RIP Hammerin' Hank Aaron. To have some native Braves fans run in and pat you after hitting 715 homer runs sure proved Atlanta had well evolved by 1974.
I wrote my first biography on the sun. if recollection serves, I think it started with "The Sun: The sun is the hottiest planet in the world, and it would burn you if you tried to eat it..."
A true Brave and nothing else. Not like today's players selling out for the money. Same goes for George Brett and others. You can't say anything more greater of a player than loyalty. That's a thing there is no statistic for.
Once again it makes no difference he did it! It's in the record books HISTORY WAS AND IS MADE! CELEBRATE IAM STILL CELEBRATING TODAY! My hat off to the babe the Sultan of Swing
hank could do every thing willie could do.but willie was more skillful n flashy kinda like comparing gene kelly to fred astaire which really comes down to who was more graceful. i have to give the edge to willie mays but i have much love n tespect for hammering hank greatness!!
Looking at his stats on Baseball Reference, he never really had an off year until the very end. Never hurt either..played in at least 150 games every year.
If Aaron had 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 the home runs he hit, he would still have over 3,000 hits. Arguably the greatest baseball career in history.
Hey I Saw Henry Aaron With Milwaukee. Braves At Wrigley Field (Cubs) 2 Homers And Single Chicago Fans Like All Ballplayers We Had Ernie Banks , Santo Williams,Kessinge -& Milwaukee Had Aaron Matthews AndJoe Torre. BaseBall Was Fun To Cub Fans No Hate" 😂😅
If you took away all of Hank's home runs, he would still have over 3000 hits. Think about that. If he had never hit a home run in his entire career, he would still have made it to the Hall of Fame.

If Barry Bonds has a shred of decency he would forfeit any accomplishments after his steroid use. McGwire and Sosa and the rest should as well.
Agree 100 %
I agree with that.
Yes,definitely.
And a lot more than we realize that there were
They turned what was the sport of baseball into a mere spectacle. Very, very sad.
Looking at his stats on Baseball Reference, he never really had an off year until the very end. Never hurt either..played in at least 150 games every year.
The background music from ESPN auguments history being made on this day!!!!!!!!
RIP Hammerin Hank Aaron
Willie Mays played in San Francisco the wind hurt Mays..

If Aaron had 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 the home runs he hit, he would still have over 3,000 hits. Arguably the greatest baseball career in history.
