Remembering Hank Aaron today. RIP Hank you were a great ball player but I do believe you were a better human being. So Glad I got to see Hank Aaron play baseball!!!
I was watching the 715 home run game and all the games the Braves played leading up to The 715th game, then we watched every game to see how much more Aaron would hit , what a great memory Rip in Champ
I heard an interesting story today about those two fans congratulating him on his way to third base. His security guard aimed his pistol towards them as they ran towards Hank, unsure of their intentions. He speculated that they appeared to be harmless so he lowered his gun.
Still the home run champion in the eyes of many (and I'm one of them). Wouldn't it be great if someone running MLB would just officially put an asterisk on everyone from the steroids era & publicly say that Henry Aaron and now, Aaron Judge are the official home run record holders. I would see no harm in that, as many of the juiceheads like Bonds, Sosa and McGwire are not getting elected to the Hall of Fame, anyway....
@@tycobb1757 Is having more at bats against the rules of baseball? If not than leave it alone, Ruth hit 714 and Aaron hit 755 no matter how much you don't like it the record still stands.
Strange you are insane did Hank ask for more games or did the mlb implement these games before or during his career? I Ruth was great but he retired and the game moved forward, Aaron hit 755 home runs legally and the right way so the extra games that he played meant nothing because he still got the job done. Whether you choose to accept it is your choice but in Cooperstown 755 reigns supreme.
@@fieldtestedburrito4836 Ruth played in an era with the most people elected to the mlb hall of fame.Look it up.1900-1935,42 men went in.22 hitters,20 pitchers.Just cause the owners will not pay the players much,forcing them to get jobs in the offseason,does not mean they were no good.Fool!
Stephanie Wilcox 🤦🏽♂️Competition back then was limited ... first of all no Latinos or blacks were allowed to play... second pitching was atrocious... look at the 50s and 60s when pitching was reaching an all time high ... you had the introduction to new pitches too like curve balls and slider and cutters and sinkers ... you also had ppl throwin 95+ ... nobody ever came close to that in the 20s or 30s ... Ruth would not have over 700 home runs in today’s league ... Aaron played against Koufax .. Arguably the greatest pitcher ever , nobody could hit off his curve ball ... not even your beloved god babe ruth
@@fieldtestedburrito4836 Pitching was not atrocious,idiot.Walter Johnson,Lefty Grove,Grover Alexander,Chief Bender,Ed Walsh,Carl Mays,Addie Joss,so many more.Hall of famers after hall of famers.The players had to work in the off season because the owners would not pay them any money,hardly.Working does not detract from playing ability.By the by,Ruth hit .352 against the japanese leagues,.345 against the cuban leagues,and .455 against the Negro leagues.If those minorities had been in the majors,Ruth's numbers would have been higher.
Just years of hard work and no steroids. He's still the home run king to me
RIP To the true home run king.

Rip Hank Aaron 1934-2021
At the beginning of his 23rd season he accomplishes this great milestone. Rest in peace Mr Aaron.
Rest in peace to the legend.

Back in April 1974 I watched hank Aaron hit the 715th home run on NBC Tv.
The true 44! The true home run king! The true legend! God bless you and may you rest in peace Mr. Aaron, Hammerin Hank you were the best!!!
He was at bat 3,965 more times than Ruth.
Rip Hank Aaron 1934-2021
Rest in Peace Big Man . You are my Home Run King " Hammering Hank Aaron"
Still the Homerun King! He did it the right way!
No.Had the equivalent of 5 and a half seasons longee than Ruth.
Absolutely!
Wrong.Small ballparks,lighter bats,lighter balls,and more games.Not the right way.
@@tycobb8735 still 755 so he did it the right way, nothing Hank did was against the rules of baseball.
Legendary
@M Yet here in America baseball is very popular and soccer not so much.
Rip! I got a baseball signed by you from the 1960s for Christmas when I was 7
RIP to the true home run king.
Rest in Peace Trailblazer
Hank Aaron-The Man With The Bat.
Hank Aaron the one and only true home run king.
Rest in peace Mr. Aaron. I shall always remember watching you hit # 715 on my 12” Sony Trinitron color TV.
I watched it live on TV.
Rest in Peace Hammer
The greatest home run of all-time
46 years ago today wow
AS A LIFE LONG YANKEES FAN I LOVE HANK ARRON ARRON DOES NOT HAVE TO TAKE A BACK SEAT TO ANYBODY EVEN WILLE MAYS RIP KENNETH O

No.1 Home run king , Mays 2nd Ruth third Bonds is somewhere in top 10 probably 10th place.!
The real home run king before steroids.
Those 2 nimrods who ran onto the field ruined the moment.
it was Dodger Davy Lopes giving him the bro shake at 2nd base.
Bad sportsmanship by Davie Lopes. Terrible
@@opticscolossalandepicvideo4879 Why?
@@josecarranza7555 you don’t shake hands when your rival team homers. I need to explain that ? Que pasa
Why does this have so many thumbs down
Rest in Peace.
God bless in Jesus name
Amen
I think I saw this game on tv.
Rest in peace 🙏
RIP

The 6 dislikes are from Yankees fans.
Correction: Those who were Barry Bonds fans.
naw they are racists
Bullshit.
I'm a Yankee fan.
Henry's the best hitter I ever saw.
@@terrytyler3139 I agree
I was born on the day the Hank Aaron beat Babe Ruth's record.
I was born on that very day too!!
I love The Babe but Henry is the King now. Sorry Barry.
Hammerin' Hank. And he did it WITHOUT steroids.
He had 4,000 more at bats than Babe Ruth did.Babe also played against more hall of famers than Aaron.Look it up.
@@tycobb1757 still no steroids
@@tycobb1757 Is having more at bats against the rules of baseball? If not than leave it alone, Ruth hit 714 and Aaron hit 755 no matter how much you don't like it the record still stands.
Barry still has the record but to me 755 is the hallow number.
Cool...
Milo Hamilton call of Henry's homerun greatest call of all time
Ruth,did it with no drugs,and 800 less games!Babe-#1
Strange Happenings fuck u
So true,strange...
You tell em,strange

Sadaharu Oh and Josh Gibson beat them both.
RUTH-#1
Here,here.
755 beats 714
Aaron had 800 more games.Not fair.
Larry Milford he also played in a era with great competition, Ruth played in an era full of plumbers

Bogus.
755 is very accurate whether you like it or not.
