The year he made history.
I visit to Truist Field came in the 50th anniversary season of Hank Aaron beating Babe Ruth’s overall home run record.
I remember honoring Henry that day as a young teenager after he hit the homer off Al Downing and rounded the bases.
Photo opp squared.
KP and I appreciated taking in the Aaron memorabilia before finding our seats for the Mets-Braves game.

Many of the sports’ heroes excel not only in the game but also in the life they led. After reading your post I read a bit about him. Things were not always easy. He certainly deserves the honors.

To break that record in the south certainly brought its set of challenges, ladysighs. Henry Aaron carried himself with dignity and grace.
