RIP: Hank Aaron dies at age 86

He is the one man that Muhammad Ali said he idolized “more than myself.” He became known to the world as “Hammerin’ Hank.”

Legendary Atlanta Brave and Major League Baseball record holder Hank Aaron died Friday at the age of 86, according to Aaron’s daughter.

Born in Mobile, Alabama, on Feb. 5, 1934, Henry Louis Aaron was one of eight children born to Herbert and Estella Aaron.

Just heard he died, and I got tears. Coming from Ali - that's a perfect quote. As great a player he was - he was a greater human being and will always be a hero. Not to mention, he was the reason I became a Braves fan.
