Did Hank Aaron suck?
Ok. Yeah he was a great hitter and he of course hit a ton of homers. He didn’t suck. But I was looking at my Hank Aaron rookie card and noticed he had 36 errors that year. I thought that was really high for an outfielder. Then I looked at his stats online. It didn’t show that many errors.
Is he known to be error prone? Or is this a known error on his card? This may be obvious to others but I am primarily a prewar guy.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You have to remember, those stats are for 1953, when he was a minor leaguer in Jacksonville.
According to baseball-reference.com, he did in fact have 36 errors in 1953. Steve

Those are his numbers from his 53 season in the Sally League. I saw him play during roughly the second half of his career and always thought him to be really good defensively but of course Clemente set the standard and nobody I saw compared to him.

Also, he played second base in 1953.

I saw an interview of his where he talked about how he gripped a bat like a lefty and obviously hit right. He didn't know it was the wrong way until he reached the minors and someone told him.

His terrible year in the field was mentioned in the original Bad News Bears.

Well, lets see...
All star every year from 1955 -75 in the top 10 for MVP 13 times, and no lower than 17th between 1955 and 73 He played in an era where multi year contracts weren't common, and did obviously get resigned every year. If that's a player who sucks, I'll take a team full of them please.
