Still the home run king to me. The greatest ballplayer I've ever seen play. I've seen a lot of good ones. This is a huge loss #44
I can remember Aaron, fondly, all th way back to the time when he was a minor leaguer in Jacksonville, Florida.
How old are you? He broke in the majors Milwaukee Braves 1954. I was born '57. He did play for the Jacksonville Braves 1953.
@wordywalt That's awesome. You were a teenager. I remember going to Phillies, Milwaukee Braves game before they moved to Atlanta. I was a little kid. They had a great team. Joe Torre, Felipe Alou, Rico Carty, Eddie Matthews and of course Hammerin Hank. Phillies had Richie Allen, Johnny Callison and Cookie Rojas. I think Cookie is the only one still living.
