“Hammerin’ Hank” set many career hitting records during a 23-year career spent mostly with the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, including RBIs, extra-base hits and total bases. But the Hall of Famer will be remembered for one swing above all others.http://apne.ws/q7FRCLX

Aaron's career total of 755 home runs was surpassed in 2007 by Barry Bonds, whose own legacy was damaged by allegations of performance-enhancing drug use. But Aaron never begrudged. He said more than three decades as the king was long enough.http://apne.ws/clcqkhb
