If you took away all of Hank's home runs, he would still have over 3000 hits. Think about that. If he had never hit a home run in his entire career, he would still have made it to the Hall of Fame.

In 1965 I was an 8-yr old kid in Milwaukee. Henry Aaron was my hero. It broke my heart that my team was leaving at the end of the season. Last game my dad and I went to, we sat in the right field bleachers and saw Hank hit a homer off Sandy Koufax. That's a memory I'll never forget. As an adult today I have a whole different level of respect for the man.

@bbigjohnson069 3 года назад
Some pitchers were sitting around discussing how to get out the best hitters. A name would come up, "low and inside." Another name, "slow stuff away." Hank Aaron's name came up, nobody said anything. Finally someone, maybe it was Koufax said, "Make sure no one is on base when he hits it out." Koufax said that he usually had a plan on every hitter on how to get him out. But with Aaron he never figured one out.

If you ask me, Hank Aaron is the greatest baseball player of all time. Depending on who you ask, he is still the home run king, but he was a complete hitter, as well as a three-time gold glove winner. Add in all of the off-the-field distractions he had such as death threats to himself, and his family, I don't think anyone else can come close to his achievements.

Only the mysticks and baybears lasted longer than 5 years and were top of the league, but our town never supported them even when they were on top smh... we supported the mysticks during the 90s mainstream hockey blowup and the late 90s/early 00s baseball reemergence with the homerun race blowup... its still a shame that hank aaron stadium was chosen to be torn down instead of left vacant and standing with some real history behind it, built on satchell paige dr.

I was a bit more of a Willie Mays fan, but I have all respect for Hank Aaron, one of the greatest ever for sure. I was very happy when he broke the home run record. From what I have read, Hank Aaron was a fine fielder as well.
@greggsloate4677
@greggsloate4677 Месяц назад
I love Mays, but I also love Aaron, and Hank was simply a better hitter, clearly, and he never made a mistake out there. I believe he had a few errors on his record, but I saw him play a lot of games, especially on television, and the guy was simply the smartest player on the field. He stole plenty of bases, and I never saw him get caught. He was pure excellence, and everybody knew it in real time when he was playing, it's only that he was so low-key. But all the fans and all of his fellow players knew who the best player on the field was, by far, and that was Hank Aaron. Willie made some spectacular plays in the field that some of us will remember forever, such as the catch off of Vic Wertz in the 1954 World Series where he was running straight toward the CF wall, and the one ~1971 at Candlestick Park where he jumped and reached above Bobby Bonds to catch a ball bound to be a HR over the fence, I was actually watching the game live on television when that happened. Willie was a great one, but Hank was more consistent, and more consistently great. Aaron also had a better arm, a great arm. Not that I'm knocking your affection for Willie, not at all. I loved him myself.

I mean, to become a great player is tough enough on itself, but back in the 40s, 50s, 60s, if you were a black athlete, on top of everything you have to deal within the sport you also have this huge ammount of bullshit to fight with, the threats, the humiliation, the fear for your life, etc. Oh my god man, all of these black athletes from that era were real warriors, they had to really really want it, they had to really go for it with everything they had plus something else that only true warriors have. Mad respect for them.

Hank Aaron and Roger Maris both payed a price for breaking Ruth’s records. Both men were basically shy and quiet, they didn’t have charisma. Ruth was a gigantic personality who dominated the headlines and practically invented the home run. Aaron also played for the Braves, so he wasn’t playing on a national stage like Willis Mays and Mickey Mantle. And he didn’t hit towering 500 foot home runs, like Ruth, he hit them 350 feet. But he was great all-around player, he could run very well.

I had the honor and thrill to shake his hand. I don't care too much for celebrities as a group of people, but Aaron is a national treasure. He's like Ali or Frazier, like Di Maggio or Williams, like Jordan or Jerry West. He was crossing the street in mid-town Manhattan, walking with two other men. I passed, turned, and said, Mr. Aaron? "Yes?" he replied and stopped. I said, "May I shake your hand, sir?" He took my hand in earnest, like a good man. It electrified me. I maintain that a handshake is worth far more than an autograph.

I cant believe he won the MVP only once in his career. A career 305 hitter, all-time leader in RBI's, 755 career homeruns, 3700 plus hits. His consistency statistically year after year is truly unique. He is an easy argument for one of the top hitters to EVER play.

@@wolfencheepclothes9715 What do u mean? What isn't fair? Please explain. If you are talking about Aaron, at bats have nothing to do with the fact he was a career 305 hitter, averaged around 32 homeruns and 100 RBI's every year over 23 years. There is NO arguing that those statistics are incredible. He also averaged a crazy low 68 strike outs a year. For a hitter putting up his kind of power numbers, 68 k's/year is outstanding. The fact that he DID get many plate appearances is a result of how great he was. Staying healthy for all of those years is a rarity. I'm not saying he is the single greatest baseball hitter ever, but he is right up there.

And one more thing....the amount of racist bullshit he had to put up with and still be successful says enough about his greatness

I think the MVP goes to the player who gets a 100 and the extra credit problem on the test. Aaron got 95s year after year after year.... He wasn't flashy and he didn't play in flashy cities either. Mays and Mantle were flashy and they played in NY. And they had some A+ years. Aaron quietly got his high As. Make sense?

@@nicholasschroeder3678 it makes great sense. Makes me think of Rafael Palmeiro. Regardless of the steroid issue, he put up big numbers (288BA--33HR-105RBI 20 year career ave). He He never apparently didn't have a flashy enough season to ever win MVP

My grandpa was a barber who cut some of the Braves hair in Hales Corners, WI and he knew Hank Aaron personally from his contacts with those players and his frequent attendance at games. Did you hear what Hank Aaron said just after the 15:00 min mark? The people of Milwaukee LOVED Henry Aaron and his wife. The Aaron were treated like loved royalty while Henry played here. When I was a little kid, Henry returned to finish out his career with the Brewers and I personally saw his last at-bats. This whole documentary talks of how mis-treated Aaron was in the South, but it never discusses how loved he was in Milwaukee. Bias!
