"fair" power. Yeah, I'd say Henry's power was at least fair :)
|
Also interesting is that the scouting report shows Aaron's position as being shortstop.

Kevin Riley editor of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, “ If there was any doubt about how truly humble Hank Aaron was, this is the family-placed obituary in Tuesday’s edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.”

Love seeing all of these great items and reading these personal stories.
Was a huge Hank fan when I was growing up, and was all in for his chase to pass Babe in 73 and 74. Still have my old beat up dresser that 9 year old me pasted a picture of Hank on one side of a drawer and Babe on the other. The chase was on! Swung a big trade (for me!) to get his rookie card later in the 70s. It's not a thing of beauty, but I love it just the same. Was really happy several years ago to pick up a cool companion piece! :) A long classy important life well lived! Thanks for the memories, Hank! |
Very Cool Video I found on Twitter. Hank Aaron homering off of Bob Feller in an Old Timers game. Just incredible to watch. Two of the best at their positions!

Thanks for the Update, Ricky
Glad to learn he went naturally. He was a true gentle man. RIP, Henry.

Even MLB players were in awe and had great respect for Hank. Check out the back of this 1978 Family Fun Centers Dave Robert’s card.

Plus it can't hurt to have the Home Run King back on the front page for a bit. These were signed in 1983 at the show mentioned in the article above. https://i.imgur.com/TZjiOnal.jpg |
Here's a pair of recent acquisitions:

This promo was an accompanying piece. I've not seen one before. https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...un%20Aaron.jpg 1972 Baltimore Sun full-page premium. Does this scream "1970s" or what? |
