On this day in Black History... Hank Aaron "One of America's greatest baseball players, Henry Louis "Hank Aaron" was born February 5, 1934 in Mobile, Alabama. The baseball Hall of Famer held the Major League Baseball record 33 years with 755 career home runs. Nicknamed the "Hammer" or "Hammerin Hank", with his MLB record, it isn't difficult to figure how he got the nicknames. His professional career lasted from 1954 to 1976. Aaron spent the first 21 years with the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves and the last two years with the Milwaukee Brewers. Aaron amidst racist death threats for getting ready to pass Babe Ruth’s home run record, broke the record with 715 home runs on April 8, 1974 for the Atlanta Braves in Atlanta Fulton County Stadium against the Los Angeles Dodgers. After his retirement, Aaron worked in the Front Office of the Atlanta Braves. Hank Aaron died on January 22, 2021 in Atlanta, Georgia." Credits...
