Hall of Famer and longtime home run king Henry Louis “Hank” Aaron died Friday morning, his daughter confirmed to WSB-TV in Atlanta. The Atlanta Braves legend was 86.
Aaron, a 25-time All-Star, played in MLB from 1954-76 almost entirely with the Braves organization first in Milwaukee and then in Atlanta. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1982.
He passed Babe Ruth on the all-time home run leaderboard and finished his career with 755. It stood for decades until Barry Bonds passed him and set the mark at 762.
The slugger is still the game’s all-time leader in RBI (2,297) and total bases (6,856).
