There are baseball greats, and then there are a very few people who transcend the sport into legendary status to become cultural icons. Such is Hank Aaron. RIP
One of my favorite Aaron photos in my collection is this one taken by Bob Cutter in 1956 of a young, blossoming superstar selecting his weapon to pummel some unfortunate pitcher.

I'm named after him
My father grew up in Janesville, WI and followed the Braves his entire childhood.
Some 25 years ago I was set up at a card show in Taylor, MI and The Hammer was doing autographs for $20 each. When it was my turn I told Hank that I was named after him and he gave me a smile. I'll never forget it.

I wrote to him as a kid a couple of times, and (I believe) he answered each of my autograph requests. Here's my TTM haul...

Very sad, sigh ... and tears. Aaron & Walter Payton were the only "sets" I ever had.

Hank Aaron
Rest in Peace Mr. Aaron- the real home run king!
First card I ever bought at a show was at the Dayton Convention Center in 1981- a 1954 Topps Hank Aaron rookie. It sits in an SGC 40 holder now, I will never trade or sell it. Trent King

His return to Milwaukee in 1975 was an epic coming home of sorts, and he left a gigantic footprint all over the area and the state. It's when I started T-ball and my love for baseball. To me, Hank Aaron was baseball.
I had him sign this jersey in the early 90's, and I can remember that it was one of those moments when you can feel your heart pounding through your chest from the excitement. It is the only jersey I ever framed

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