Grave of Home Run King... Hank Aaron
Hank Aaron (Henry Louis Aaron) was an American professional baseball player, born on February 5, 1934, in Mobile, Alabama. Known as "Hammerin' Hank," he is widely regarded as one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Aaron's Major League Baseball (MLB) career spanned from 1954 to 1976, primarily with the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves and the Milwaukee Brewers. He broke Babe Ruth's long-standing home run record on April 8, 1974, finishing his career with 755 home runs, a record that stood for over three decades.
In addition to his home run prowess, Aaron was a consistent hitter and excellent fielder, earning 25 All-Star selections, three Gold Glove Awards, and the 1957 National League MVP Award. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982. Beyond his achievements on the field, Aaron was a vocal advocate for civil rights and faced significant racism and adversity throughout his career.
