HANK AARON AKA "HAMMER HANK"

I remember the day Hammer Hank hit that 715 home run, it was April 8, 1974. I was glued to our black and white television, praying he made that last hit. That hit beat Babe Ruth record of 714. All of the Atlanta baseball fans were proud to have their home team player to break that record.

Mr. Aaron was born in Mobile, Alabama, on February 5, 1934. He had seven siblings including his brother Tommie Aaron, who played with Hank on the MLB team. Mr. Aaron has a long resume of baseball careers he accomplished.  He was named to the National League All- Star roster 20 times and the American League All-Star roster one time. I could go on and on about this man outstanding career, which he is still active as of today. He own severals car dealership, and if my memories serve me correctly, I think he owned a Krispy Kreme Doughnut store in my neighborhood. I think he gave that up for the car business.

Mr. Aaron resides near Atlanta, Georgia.
