Hank Aaron The Legitimate Home-run Leader (1934-2021)

That’s Amaury News and Commentary

By Amaury Pi-González

Hank Aaron who broke Babe Ruth Home Run record, arguably the most heralded record in American sports passed today, Friday January 22, 2021 at the age of 86. Aaron played for 23 years in major league baseball, hit 755 home runs drove-in 2,297 runs #1 in history and was selected to every All Star game each year in which he played.

He is the legitimate home run king because he had an exemplary career, free of scandals and had to endure direct death threats in person, verbal abuse by fans and by mail for many years.

He was a gentleman an icon and a quiet leader on the field respected by everybody. It was a privilege for me to interviewed Mr.Aaron when he came to Oakland already as the legitimate home run king with his last team the Milwaukee Brewers. Rest In Peace Hank Aaron an American original.
