Teaching Baseball Great Hank Aaron Dies at 86

Baseball Great Hank Aaron Dies at 86

His name is all over the baseball record book. Hank Aaron could do it all. Sure, he’s remembered mostly for dethroning Babe Ruth to become baseball’s home run king on the way to 755 home runs. But don’t forget about the .300 batting average. And don’t forget about the graceful way he fielded his position. Or the deceiving speed he showed while running the bases.
