May he rest in peace. A great man who persevered through horrific racism and bigotry, including death threats.

Hank Aaron,  a baseball legend who raised the bar for baseball with dignity, strength and excellence in talent for the game.  Quietly he went about his business and contributed much to the sport especially breaking Ruth's home run record.  Aaron also fought for rights and for that he also is a hero. 

 

Rest in peace with God, Hank Aaron, your time here on earth was inspiring and you have left your legacy/

Hank Aaron was among the greatest all-around players in baseball history, earning his home run record in the face of hate mail and even death threats.

 

Just a beautiful soul ... second only to #42 as my all time favorite!

Another legend joins 'The Field of Dreams'. Hank will be sorely missed. I loved when he joined the various  broadcasts during the season! RIP.

A good man. I hope young people read about his life, his determination and courage.

A man who overcame more obstacles than most of us could ever imagine. Go in peace Hank to where you will be welcomed with open arms.
