RIP Hank Aaron

[ttyymmnn]

I watched him hit #715 on TV. I still remember it.

Hank Aaron, baseball legend and former home run king, dies at 86 (CNN)

@ttyymmnn Before my time, but obviously a giant of the game.

Hank Aaron, baseball legend and actual non-cheating home run king, dies at 86

Fixed the headline.

@ttyymmnn Damn, that sucks. He seemed like a humble guy. Still the Home Run King as far as I'm concerned. (Not anything to do with PEDs, I just think Bonds is an asshole, so to hell with him. )

Thank you.

Ah, crap. Hell of a man, and a life lived. Seemed like a really fun guy in interviews, too.

@ttyymmnn I feel gutted hearing this said news. May he rest in peace.
...wasn't expecting 2021 to tell us GFY so quickly like this, but that's life.

There were similar comments back when Sean Connery died. As I said then, he lived a hell of a life, brought us some great movies (with the possible exception of Zardoz) and died in the Bahamas. Hell of a run. And same for Hank Aaron.

@ttyymmnn A great human and a great ballplayer who had to put up with a lot of shit, and handled it in stride.
