The great Henry “Hank” Aaron passed away today at the age of 86. #HammerinHank was the personification of grace, class and dignity. These traits were never more evident than when he was exposed to vile, racist threats from baseball “fans” as he was on his quest to break #BabeRuth’s all-time #homerun record. His career stats are unbelievable- • @baseballhall • 25x All Star • MVP ‘57 • #WorldSeries Champion ‘57 • 3X #GoldGlove winner • 2X #Batting champion • .305 back in a BH average • 3,371 hits • 755 #homeruns • 2,297 #rbi’s Incredible statics. But they only tell part of his story. His involvement in civil rights causes off of the baseball diamond were as important as his on-field exploits. #RIPHankAaron. One of the Greatest. You will be missed. @braves
