About the baseball legend
Born in Mobile, Alabama in 1934, Hank Aaron began his career with the Indianapolis Clowns in baseball’s Negro American League. In 1954, the then-Milwaukee Braves started Aaron in a spring training game and had his major league debut with the team that April. The team would go on to win the 1957 World Series and would move to Atlanta in 1966.
Forty five years after his final season back in Milwaukee with the Brewers in 1976, Aaron remains baseball’s all-time leader in RBI (2,297) and extra-base hits (1,477), and he scored at least 100 runs in a record 13 consecutive seasons from 1955-67. He also ranks third all-time in hits with 3,771. Amazingly, if you deleted all 755 of his home runs, he still would have exceeded 3,000 hits.
Hank Aaron held the career record for home runs — 755 — for 33 years.
After retiring from baseball in 1976, rejoined the Braves organization as an executive and served as a senior vice president until his death.
