I remember when I was a kid, my class went on a field trip to the Georgia Capitol building. Hank Aaron walked by and said hi to us. I thought he was a senator or something. Years later I watched a documentary and then realize who he was and his accomplishments. Aaron is on the Mount Rushmore for Atlanta sports. RIP

Worn my Braves hat all day in honor.

Mt. Rushmore of baseball. Home run king. From everything I’ve read and learned in the last 40 years, an even better human. RIP. Goat. Atlanta lost a legend.

It's truly a sad day.
This one hurts! I've also worn my Braves hat all day to honor him and have seen others.

That stung this morning...watching all the guest speakers on TV...

An American icon.

A shining example of what every athlete should strive to be.

Class...personified.

I was only a baseball fan for Hank's last year or two but I have always respected the way he carried himself since then. He was a real professional and a gentleman. Like others my age I do also consider him the all time HR champ.

Today's 'Celebration of Henry Louis Aaron,' a memorial service honoring Mr. Aaron's life and enduring legacy, will take place at Truist Park this afternoon at 1 p.m. ET.

Truist Park will be closed to the public, but fans can watch the service by tuning in to MLB Network, Fox Sports South, or Fox Sports Southeast. The service will also be streamed on braves.com, Braves Facebook, and Braves YouTube.
