Sorry, I'm old enough to remember him breaking Babe Ruths 714 record.  Not a big sports fan, but I remember watching him sad to see him pas after 45 some odd years after that.  R.I.P. big guy.

Not a huge fan of baseball but I grew up during his era. Its sad to hear of one of the greats in any field dying.

My favorite all-time player and one of the classiest, most humble people to ever grace the planet. Grew up a Braves fan and was appalled and ready to drive to the ATL and hurt anyone who wanted to hurt him the year he broke Babe Ruth's record, even though I was just a little kid. Until the recent election, that display of racist ignorance in 1974 was the most ashamed I had ever been of my native state. Rest in peace, Henry Aaron.
