Hall-of-Famer Hank Aaron who played for the Braves (World Series champion in 1957) and the Brewers and possessed the MLB records for RBI's, bases, extra-base hits, and all-star game appearances, and surpassed Babe Ruth's record for career home runs and stood for 33 years until Barry Bonds surpassed it, has passed to heaven at 86. Hank was also a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient in 2002 and had a MLB award named after him in 1999. Take care, Hank.

I can't believe it! I was literally just yesterday taking one of his cards out of a top loader and into a one-touch. It's a card I hadn't looked at in years.

What a weird coincidence and what a loss for sports.
