Henry "Hammerin' Hank" Aaron was more than just the all-time Home Run King for nearly 34 years, much more. He was an example of how a person can hold themselves when faced with adversity, tremendous amounts of strain and pressure, and when racism reveals its ugly head. He was also the mold for consistency. He is also one of only three players to ever amass 6000 or more total bases, the career leader. He is also one of only four members of the 3000 hit/500 HR club.
