    The Swing that Rewrote HISTORY 40 years later, Hank Aaron’s feat stands the test of time By Adam DeCock he Braves April 8th home opener marked more than just the the Boston Red Sox, then spent the majority of his well-documented start of the baseball season this year. It also marked the career with the New York Yankees. ‘The Curse of the Bambino’ might 40th anniversary of Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth’s long be the most well-known curse in baseball, having haunted the Sox standing home run record and #715. for over 80 seasons following the trade that put Ruth in pinstripes. When Aaron stepped into the batter’s box in the fourth inning in a Almost 40 years after Ruth’s 714th home run, an unassuming game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 8, 1974, ‘Hammerin’ young ballplayer from Mobile, AL entered the picture. Little did Hank’ did more than break a record that had stood for nearly 40 Aaron know his feat would capture his and future generations of years. The feat itself remains a marvel in baseball history, but is baseball fans, and change the landscape of America’s pastime just one aspect of what makes Aaron’s path as a player, as well as forever. his post-playing days, a memorable journey. And it wasn’t all luck. Aaron ended the 1973 season with 713 home runs, one shy of the “I’m proud of all of my accomplishments that I’ve had in baseball,” record set by Babe Ruth in 1935, a record that most considered Aaron said.

  • Top Sluggers and Their Home Run Breakdowns
    Best of Baseball Prospectus: 1996-2011 Part 1: Offense 6 APRIL 22, 2004 : http://bbp.cx/a/2795 HANK AARON'S HOME COOKING Top Sluggers and Their Home Run Breakdowns Jay Jaffe One of the qualities that makes baseball unique is its embrace of non-standard playing surfaces. Football fields and basketball courts are always the same length, but no two outfields are created equal. As Jay Jaffe explains via a look at Barry Bonds and the all-time home run leaderboard, a player’s home park can have a significant effect on how often he goes yard. It's been a couple of weeks since the 30th anniversary of Hank Aaron's historic 715th home run and the accompanying tributes, but Barry Bonds' exploits tend to keep the top of the all-time chart in the news. With homers in seven straight games and counting at this writing, Bonds has blown past Willie Mays at number three like the Say Hey Kid was standing still, which— congratulatory road trip aside—he has been, come to think of it. Baseball Prospectus' Dayn Perry penned an affectionate tribute to Aaron last week. In reviewing Hammerin' Hank's history, he notes that Aaron's superficially declining stats in 1968 (the Year of the Pitcher, not coincidentally) led him to consider retirement, but that historian Lee Allen reminded him of the milestones which lay ahead. Two years later, Aaron became the first black player to cross the 3,000 hit threshold, two months ahead of Mays. By then he was chasing 600 homers and climbing into some rarefied air among the top power hitters of all time.

  • Close Reading Framework—Biography: Hank Aaron: Hammering Home a Message of Equality
    Close Reading Framework—Biography: Hank Aaron: Hammering Home a Message of Equality Synopsis On February 5, 1934, Hank Aaron was born in Mobile, Alabama. He followed his lifelong love of baseball from playing as a kid to the Negro Leagues and finally to the Major Leagues where he played for the Milwaukee Braves (who moved to Atlanta during Aaron’s career). His major league career lasted 23 years. He was not just a professional baseball player; he was an extraordinary professional baseball player. He broke many records during his career. One of the most impressive records that he held was for most career home runs. It took more than 20 years for another player to beat his record of 755 home runs. In recognition of his wonderful achievements in baseball and in his personal life, Hank Aaron was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2002. Background: A BaseBall Hero What made Hank Aaron stand apart from other baseball players was his ability to hit the ball— and hit it well. This is why other players and baseball fans gave him the nickname “Hammerin’ Hank.” During his 23 years playing for the Braves and then back to Milwaukee with the Brewers where he ended his career, Aaron played as an outfielder. Aaron set records in baseball that no one has managed to beat to this day. These records include: runs batted in, extra base hits, and total bases. Before Aaron broke the record for most career home runs in 1974, the record belonged to one of the most legendary baseball players of all time: Babe Ruth.

  • Hank Aaron Leaves Inspiring Legacy
    For UBS marketing purposes Henry Louis "Hank" Aaron, the Hall of Fame slugger whose 755 career home runs long stood as baseball's golden mark, has died. He was 86. (UBS) Athletes and Entertainers Hank Aaron leaves inspiring legacy 25 January 2021, 2:47 pm CET, written by UBS Editorial Team Hank Aaron, one of baseball’s greatest all-around players, died Friday, aged 86, leaving behind an inspiring legacy. Many will likely remember Aaron’s composure and grace as he endured racist threats during his pursuit of Babe Ruth’s home run record, as much as his numerous achievements on the diamond. As well as being a 25-time All-Star, an MVP and a three-time Gold Glove, Aaron ended his career as Major League Baseball’s all-time home run leader with 755. He had taken the crown from the New York Yankees' great Babe Ruth and later lost it to San Francisco Giants legend Barry Bonds. President of The Players Alliance, and former Major League All-Star outfielder, Curtis Granderson stated that "we lost one of our game’s greatest icons, Hank Aaron. A devoted civil rights activist, his lasting impact will forever be measured well beyond his “Hammerin’ Hank” home run swing." "On behalf of the players that make up the Alliance, we owe a debt of gratitude for all Hank Aaron did for our game and our country’s movement toward equality. We send our deepest condolences to his family in the wake of his passing," Granderson said. The Players Alliance, made-up of over 100 black current and former professional baseball players, united to use their collective voice and platform to create increased opportunities for the black community in every aspect of baseball and beyond.

  • Hank Aaron for Hank Aaron, the Moment Came on April 15, 1947. the Moment That He Realized That He Wasn't Just Chasing a Pipe D
    Hank Aaron For Hank Aaron, the moment came on April 15, 1947. The moment that he realized that he wasn’t just chasing a pipe dream. Aaron was only 13 years old at the time – seven years away from his Boston Braves debut – but growing up in Mobile, Ala., segregation was all he knew. “We all knew that Babe Ruth was a great home run hitter and a great player, but what he accomplished was virtually meaningless to black kids,” Aaron told The New York Times. “We paid little attention to the records of white professional players. It wasn’t until 1947 when Jackie Robinson broke the color line that I started thinking seriously of playing Major League Baseball.” A baseball icon associated with shattering a seemingly unbreakable record, sometimes it bears reminding that Hank Aaron was born into poverty, during the heart of the Great Depression. He was the third of eight children, living in a modest, one-story white house built by his father, Herbert. But Hank himself never needed reminding, as he committed to a lifetime of uplifting children who grew up in circumstances much like he did. “As a Hall of Famer on the field, Henry Aaron changed the game with his incredible ability and consistency,” said Erik Strohl, vice president of exhibitions and collections at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. “But his work off the field in support of his community and society have left a legacy that is unparalleled.” Years after his playing career ended, Aaron still recognized that there are many young people who need that helping hand to give them a boost in their lives.

  • February 2, 2015 Csnchicago.Com Chicago Says Goodbye to Mr. Cub Ernie Banks by Patrick Mooney Mr. Cub Is Gone, Leaving This Fran
    February 2, 2015 CSNChicago.com Chicago says goodbye to Mr. Cub Ernie Banks By Patrick Mooney Mr. Cub is gone, leaving this franchise and this city without one of its greatest ambassadors. An A-list crowd turned out at Fourth Presbyterian Church on Saturday morning, memorializing Ernie Banks on what would have been his 84th birthday, remembering his excellence on the field and grace off the field. Sunshine beamed into the stained-glass windows during a ceremony that lasted more than 90 minutes and aired live on multiple TV channels. It almost felt like a Cooperstown exhibit had come to downtown Chicago with Hall of Famers Billy Williams, Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, Reggie Jackson, Joe Torre, Lou Brock, Andre Dawson and Fergie Jenkins. Banks, who died last week after suffering a heart attack, probably would have wondered what all the fuss was about. He didn’t want to talk about his game — 512 career home runs, a Gold Glove at shortstop and a spot on Major League Baseball’s All-Century Team — or what it was like when he played. “Ernie was unassuming,” Jenkins said. “He didn’t want the title of being a star. He wanted to be a teammate.” Banks would have loved to listen to the laughter and the upbeat music. Calvin Bridges’ Chicago Praise Ensemble sung “This Little Light of Mine” and “Oh Happy Day,” clapping from the balcony. Williams remembered going to spring training as the next big prospect in the late 1950s and can still see that smiling face welcoming him to the organization.
