HANK AARON
Hank Aaron ascended the ranks of the Negro Leagues to become a Major League Baseball icon. He spent
most of his 23 seasons as an outfielder for the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, during which time he set many
records, including a career total of 755 home runs. Aaron ranks second all-time in home runs (755), third in hits
(3,771), third in games played (3,298) and fourth in runs scored (2,174). Over the course of his career, he won
two batting titles, led his league in homers and RBIs four times each, and won three Gold Gloves for fielding
excellence. In 1999, Major League Baseball introduced the Hank Aaron Award to honor the top hitter in each
league. The iconic Babe Ruth finished his career in 1935 with 714 home runs, a record considered untouchable
until Aaron tied Ruth’s record in 1974, and then on April 8, 1974, he banged out his record 715th home run
breaking the legendary Babe Ruth’s almost 40 year old record. After retiring as a player, Aaron moved into the
Atlanta Braves front office as executive vice president, where he became a leading spokesman for minority
hiring in baseball. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982.
