Happy 84th Birthday to MR. Henry Louis Aaron

[clydepepper]

Never a more humble Superstar has lived.


You want to talk about everyday heroes, he is one. The way he lives his life and how he treats others.

Bless You MR. 'Bad Henry'.

Mmmmm...... "how he treats others" . . . .seems like a number of people on this board have had very crappy experiences meeting him.

Wow! I sure didn't expect that kind of negative reaction.

I'm glad HE was always treated politely.

We should all walk a mile in someone's shoes before passing judgement.

Walk a mile in his shoes? C'mon. He's a famous athlete who will never have a financial issue in his life. I'm not saying he's Satan, but I've heard lousy things about him FOR YEARS. Is he bitter about all the racist crap he had to endure? Maybe. Was it horrible what he endured. Absolutely. Undeniable. But I can imagine millions of poor seniors would trade places with him in a minute.

Ok...back to celebrating one of the greatest of all time.

Man, tough crowd. Endure death threats and see how you feel about racism. Is he supposed to be a saint, or eternally grateful because he has earned a good living?
