Title: Hank Aaron
Post by: GrandpaTom on January 01/22/21, 10:48:16 AM
Well, I was hoping my milestone post number 500 would be a better one, but some sad news today out of Atlanta.  Hammering Hank has passed away.

Great baseball player. All time homerun king. By all accounts he was a better person. Baseball has lost a lot of greats in the last year.

RIP Hank.

One of my friends, who is a flight attendant for DL airlines had him on several flights and said he was a true gentleman.
