Just so you all know, I have another YouTube page called Michael Jordan fans are the worst sports fans of all time. You can find the link to the page in the description section. Please subscribe to the page then.

Hank Aaron was pure class. A humble man who is arguably one of the top 5 baseball players of all time.
-
Just a class act. A wonderful man.
-
Total class act, all time HR leader at 755

"its not always the $$, it's the competition". The words of a champion.
-
"it's not the money; it's the competition." Hell yeah.

My dad said Aaron was the best right handed hitter he ever saw. RIP Dad. RIP Hammer.

As a young white kid growing up in Kansas during the 70s, Hank Aaron was our hero. I cornered him coming out of a hotel elevator when he was with the Brewers playing in Kansas City. He shook my hand and autographed a piece of hotel stationary for me. I was 11 years old. I felt like I’d just shared a private moment with Superman! **Update** I mentioned the point that I am white and it was during the tumultuous 70s to make the point that Aaron helped cross the color barrier. He brought people together. He helped us look at each other and see commonality, not differences. It's unfortunate I have to spell that out to all the people who insist on wallowing in the gutter of accusing even compliments as racist.

Man, almost 800 home runs in an era facing, in their prime, Koufax, Gibson, Drysdale, Seaver. Respect.
-
He was a great gentleman.
-
It's hard to have class without showing respect to others. This man had class.
-
Old school class, a great player and better man.
-
Hank Aaron and Willie Mays, two of the greatest to ever play the game.

Aaron hit so many of those HRs during that so-called "Second Deadball Era" of 1964-1972 when he had to face all these all-time great pitchers. That makes his accomplishment even more impressive. Plus he was doing it in his 30s, and guys aged faster back then. Sports medicine was not what it is now.

OMG!! Thanks Hank for taking us back to when sportsmanship mattered. Just wonderful.
-
Met him in an autograpgh session. He was very nice and humble. Heceven put on my 30+ yr old Hank Aaron model glove. Showed it to his assistant, too. One of my best moments meeting a true hero. Always carried himself to a higher presence.

Seems like a respectable player who enjoyed the game and not the antics....these types are long gone

Hank Aaron was one of my sports heroes growing up. The man was and is a class act, all the way.

Hank Aaron hit his 400th home run off all-time great playboy and jokester Bo Belinsky. As Hank rounded the bases he tipped his hat to acknowledge the cheering crowd. At Hank's next at bat Belinsky hit him, and then tipped his hat to him with a grin. It was a different era back then.

He mentioned Gibson, Koufax, Drysdale and Seaver. Awesome group. But that is just a fraction of what he and the likes of him like Clemente, Mays, Rose, Robinson and the rest of the great hitters of the era had to deal with. You also had the likes of Marichal, Carlton, Perry, Spahn and the rest of the great pitches of that time. It was an incredible era full of talent and greatness.
