    RIP Hank Aaron

    Just a few days after he got "the vax," he ends up dead at 86.

    Hammerin' Hank could hit the ball like nobody else. Real legend and a big loss for America.

    Yeah, man, I remember watching him slamming them out of the park back in the 70s.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    My dad was telling me earlier the first MLB game he ever went to was The Braves vs The Dodgers in 1958. He got to see him play that day. Spahn pitched for the Braves and Drysdal pitched for the Dodgers. He got to sit up close to Duke Snider.

    Rest in Peace, he was a fixture on the TV in the late 70s, while I was growing up. I think on the previews or trailers to ABC's wild world of sports, where the 2 Nixon Era young people ran onto the field and on either side of him while he was runnin' the bases. I was watching "The Pride of The Yankees" last night about Lou Gehrig another legend and this morning heard Hank passed away (no causal relation)
