    RIP Hank Aaron. Forget the HR record - as I explained in 2007, Aaron's 6856 Career Total Bases is the most impressive statistical testament to his career as a ballplayer. http://baseballcrank.com/archives2/2007/07/baseball_baseba_14.php …https://twitter.com/cbs46/status/1352636966882463744 …

        I was at Hank Aaron's Hall of Fame induction in 1982. Happy Chandler spoke endlessly in the broiling sun. Frank Robinson had a long speech, too. Aaron-man of the hour-went last. His parents were melting. I assume he'd prepared a speech, but all he did was thank people & sit down.

        ...annnd memory plays tricks. Aaron did speak for 7 minutes, much shorter than the other two. Still, the speech part before the thanks was quite short.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy5t4BdSM0U …

        Agree! Often overlooked is what a complete player he was, winning batting titles and gold gloves.

        The guy just put up ridiculously solid numbers year after year after year. Even his home run numbers weren’t extremely notable most years, he just kept hitting 30-45 season after season.

        That and the fact that he never hit more than 50 HRs in a single season. Just an extraordinarily consistent career.

        Hank and Tommie hold the record for most homers by brothers. I think Tommie had a dozen or so!
