Henry Louis Aaron
(February 5, 1934 – January 22, 2021), nicknamed "
Hammer
" or "
Hammerin' Hank
", was an American professional
baseball
right fielder
who played 23 seasons in
Major League Baseball
(MLB), from 1954 through 1976. He spent 21 seasons with the
Milwaukee
/
Atlanta Braves
in the
National League
(NL) and two seasons with the
Milwaukee Brewers
in the
American League
(AL).
Aaron is regarded as one of the greatest baseball players of all time. His 755 career
home runs
broke the long-standing
MLB record
set by
Babe Ruth
and stood as the most for 33 years; Aaron still holds many other MLB batting records. He hit 24 or more home runs every year from 1955 through 1973, and is one of only two players to hit 30 or more home runs in a season at least fifteen times.
[1]
In 1999,
The Sporting News
ranked Aaron fifth on its list of the "100 Greatest Baseball Players".
[2]
In
1982
, he was inducted into the
National Baseball Hall of Fame
in his first year of eligibility.
Aaron was born and raised in and around
Mobile, Alabama
. Aaron had seven siblings, including
Tommie Aaron
, who played major-league baseball with him. He appeared briefly in the
Negro American League
and in
minor league baseball
before starting his major league career.
[3]
By his final MLB season, Aaron was the last Negro league baseball player on a major league roster. During his time in the MLB, especially during his run for the hitting record, Aaron and his family endured extensive racist threats.
[4]
Aaron played the vast majority of his MLB games in right field, though he appeared at several other infield and outfield positions. In his last two seasons, he was primarily a
designated hitter
.
[5]
Aaron was an NL
All-Star
for 20 seasons and an AL All-Star for one season, and he holds the record for the most All-Star selections (25),
[a]
while sharing the record for most All-Star Games played (24) with
Willie Mays
and
Stan Musial
. He was a three-time
Gold Glove
winner, and in 1957, he won the NL
Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award
when the Milwaukee Braves won the
World Series
. Aaron holds the MLB records for the most career
runs batted in
(RBIs) (2,297),
extra base hits
(1,477), and
total bases
(6,856). Aaron is also in the top five for career
hits
(3,771) and
runs
(2,174). He is one of only four players to have at least 17 seasons with 150 or more hits.
[6]
Aaron is in second place in home runs (755) and
at-bats
(12,364), and in third place in games played (3,298). At the time of his retirement, Aaron held most of the game's key career power hitting records.
After his retirement, Aaron held front office roles with the Atlanta Braves, including senior vice president. In 1988, Aaron was inducted into the
Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame
.
[7]
In 1999, MLB introduced the
Hank Aaron Award
to recognize the top offensive players in each league. He was awarded the
Presidential Medal of Freedom
in 2002. He was named a 2010 Georgia Trustee by the
Georgia Historical Society
in recognition of accomplishments that reflect the ideals of Georgia's founders. Aaron resided near
Atlanta
until his death.

Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program.  How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item.   I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
