Oh, no. My pops took us to see Aaron at Dodger stadium for two games during the end of Aaron's run. He hit (I think) they tying home run when we were there. The next game they sat him out so he could hit the big one in front of his home crowd in Hotlanta.

Talk about pissed off.

Death is obviously racist. Burn something down.

Got to see him play in Atlanta a few times in HS. Big Braves fan for many years until Ted’s “Religion is a crutch for weak people” statement followed by the Hanoi Jane marriage. He went One toke over the line.

Always thought Hank Aaron was a class act and a gentleman. RIP
