Home Run King Hank Aaron Has Passed Away at the Age of 86

Hank Aaron was a legend.

He set baseball’s home run record with 755 career home runs.

And he was a gentleman that broke through the Negro Leagues and helped America see past color.

He passed away at the age 86. No cause of death has been announced.

When she was a girl, my wife used to go to the Braves games with a bunch of girlfriends. They were friends with Aaron, Torres, Matthews, Alou... Sit behind the dugout, get free tickets... Cried when they left. One of her favorite memories.

Some are blaming Aaron’s death on the coronavirus vaccine, which he took shortly before his death, but again no cause of death has been conclusively established.

Whatever the case, Aaron was a truly special figure in American history.

Aaron breaking Babe Ruth’s home run record will live on forever.
