As a Braves fan he was our Dan Marino but I've always thought he was even more than that. Hank Aaron was a very special person and someone who resonated beyond sports. Many non sports fans knew and respected him and he earned this respect and admiration without asking for it. I think Chipper Jones kind of summed it up.
Rest in Peace Home Run King!

I can’t imagine what Hank Aaron went through in his lifetime. He had every right to be angry or militant.....but never was! He spread his grace on everything and every one he came in contact with. Epitome of class and integrity. RIP Henry Aaron! #HammerinHank
