The great Henry Louis Aaron turns 85 today.
The Hall of Famer played 347 career games against the Cubs and hit a tremendous .326/.376/.589, with 87 HR (11.5% of his career total) and 262 RBI. Of course, there were fewer teams at the time, which meant more games against each opponent. You’ll never again see a player hit 87 home runs against a single opponent. But there’s no denying that slashline.
While he never played for the Cubs, we can take a look back at Aaron’s career and find where former Cubs intersected with some of his milestone moments.
