2/5/1934 – 1/22/2021
Years with Braves: 1954-1974

A Hall of Fame player who is in the inner-most circle of the game’s most elite historical figures, Aaron spent all but two of his seasons as a player with the Braves organization. Still the game’s all-time leader in RBI and total bases, he was the 1957 regular season and World Series MVP who also sported three Gold Glove awards, two batting titles and a record 25 All Star Game appearances.
