Watched that memorable 715th home run off Al Downing back in the day, seared in my baseball memory. RIP Hank RIP...

Truly a great man, in addition to being one of baseball's icons. His record still stands in my mind, because the pretenders to the home run crown used massive amounts of steroids to muscle the ball out of the park.

Hank Aaron hit his home runs with timing and mechanics, a sweet swing that seemed effortless. His athletic achievements and his character will long outlive the numbers of those that needed drugs to accomplish what came naturally to him.

May the earth lie gently on his bones.
