Hall of Famer and Baseball Icon Henry ‘Hank’ Aaron Dies at 86
I remember as a kid when he hit # 715 - they broke into regular programming to show the record breaking home run and the ceremony afterwards, They didn't show the complete game. No sports networks back in 1974.

I can't recall a time when one sport has lost so many big names in less than a month. First came Dodgers legend Tommy Lasorda.
Then Don Sutton, a pitcher-turned-broadcaster passed away earlier this week.
And now Hank Aaron.
Hank Aaron, Baseball's Legendary Slugger, Dies At 86
In baseball, it's three strikes and you're out. In this case, those three strikes are extremely painful. A sad week for a great sport.

A class act. I saw him interviewed during a Sunday Night game two years ago. And I saw "the Hammer" play many times at Jarry Park.
