The Atlanta United truly know how to show class and respect for events that might not even pertain to the club. Born 4 years after the inaugural FIFA World Cup (where the USA finished 3rd) and playing professional baseball in an era where Pele was making his name known, Hank Aaron was a person who not only smashed baseball records but forever changed the landscape of sports.
He paved the way for African Americans to achieve success and fair treatment on and off the field. A Hall of Famer, Hank Aaron will forever be remembered particularly in the city of Atlanta for his contributions as a player and a front office member.
