Happy Birthday Hank Aaron (80)
mlb.com
ATLANTA -- As Hank Aaron strolled through the Braves' clubhouse at Turner Field late last week, he still possessed that dignified grace he gained on his way to becoming baseball's home run king and one of those few elite legends that are revered by both fans and fellow Hall of Famers.
Sixty years have passed since Aaron joined the Milwaukee Braves as a wide-eyed 20-year-old rookie outfielder, who would go on to best Babe Ruth's "unbreakable" home run record and establish himself as somebody who is still widely considered one of the top five baseball players to ever grace the game.
While time has eroded some of that impressive strength that helped Aaron total 755 home runs over 23 big league seasons, it has had little impact on his passion to continue living life to the fullest.
As Aaron turned 80 on Wednesday, he continued to serve as an inspirational figure to those who know all that he accomplished during his career and to those who have continued to watch him display a youthful exuberance on a daily basis.
