Reactions: MLB legend and former home run king Hank Aaron dies at 86 years old

Hank Aaron, a former outfield who hit 755 home runs for the Milwaukee Brewers and the Atlanta Braves, has died at 86 years old.

Aaron tied Babe Ruth's home run record with a drive off Reds pitcher Jack Billingham at Riverfront Stadium in 1974, and he still holds the all-time RBI record with 2,297.

In his 23-year career, Aaron held a .305 batting average, and he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1982.
