Braves Honor Henry Aaron In Tribute Ahead of World Series Game 3

The Braves honored the family of the late baseball legend Henry Aaron in a touching pregame tribute ahead of Game 3 of the World Series on Friday night.

As a tribute video flashed across the Jumbotron at Truist Park, Aaron was remembered for his talent as one of the greatest to ever play the game and for his admiration that transcended the baseball field.

"The grace and class in which Henry Aaron lived his life, encapsulates everything and athlete and human being should be," the video said.

Aaron's family was honored on the field after the tribute, and his son—Hank Aaron Jr.
