Hank Aaron passed away yesterday. While I never got to see him play he's always been that guy I've been amazed by. He was so consistently good year in and year out. His stats blow you away. Someone mentioned he was baseball royalty and I think's that's exactly how to look at him. You hear nothing but glowing things about him whether it was as a person, player or friend. He'll truly be missed in baseball, sports and the world.
Turner Field circa 2007.
Braves have been hit hard over the last 3 weeks.
ReplyDeleteReally has been. To lose an icon like Aaron and fan favorite like Knucksie is tough.
DeleteBaseball royalty is a great way to describe him. Rest in peace Mr. Aaron.
ReplyDeleteNice tribute to Aaron. What set is that card from? I don’t recall seeing it before, but it’s awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's from 2020 Topps Archives. It's part of the Base Nickname Poster Cards subset. Card #311.
