Hank Aaron, Hall of Famer and MLB legend, dies at 86

Hall of Fame outfielder Hank Aaron died Friday at the age of 86, report Tim Kephart and Karyn Greer of CBS46 in Atlanta.

One of the all-time greats to ever play the game, Aaron’s 755 homers were the MLB career record for three decades before finally being surpassed. He’s still the all-time leader in RBI (2,297) and total bases (6,856), and ranks third in hits (3,771) and plate appearances (13,941) and fourth in runs scored (2,174). His career numbers over 23 seasons, in one of the largest bodies of work ever assembled, are still staggering.
