This is loving awful. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/22/sports/baseball/hank-aaron-dead.html The New York Times posted:Hank Aaron, who faced down racism as he eclipsed Babe Ruth as baseball’s home run king, hitting 755 homers and holding the most celebrated record in sports for more than 30 years, has died. He was 86. The NYT article is long as hell. This is just the first section. I’ve been an Atlanta Braves fan since I was a little kid, and Hank Aaron was like a hero to me. This sucks. to a great one.

Baseball is enjoyable if you actually go to the ball park and watch a game. Watching it on TV is a real snooze fest. My dad used to call it a Game made for Radio.

I think he existed within racism, right. Overcome? Its a sport, hes not overcoming anyone. He was doing a white mans hobby like a race horse (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) Halloween Liker fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Jan 22, 2021 |

Fun fact: He was the “hammer” in MC Hammer (Stanley Kirk Burrell was called Hammer due to his resemblance to a young Hank Aaron)

I went to a Yankees Tigers game once with my dad and it was supposed to be a double header but the first game lasted 17 innings and I would have had more fun if I was sitting in a prison bus, cutting myself while reading suicide notes written by war orphans

Not a big baseball guy but from reading a bit it seems he had a hell of a life both on and off the field, and I gotta give him props for doing what he did with all the poo poo he had to deal with. Definitely a great sports icon for so many reasons.

I remember when Bonds broke the HR record and the purists were all about it, some columnist wrote a fanfiction about Hank Aaron coming out of retirement at age 72 and taking the record back and it was extremely embarrassing to read. Anyway,
