    Default Longtime MLB home run king Hank Aaron dies at 86

    Henry Louis "Hank" Aaron, the Hall of Fame slugger whose 755 career home runs long stood as baseball's golden mark, has died. He was 86.

    "We are absolutely devastated by the passing of our beloved Hank," Atlanta Braves chairman Terry McGuirk said in a statement. "He was a beacon for our organization first as a player, then with player development, and always with our community efforts. His incredible talent and resolve helped him achieve the highest accomplishments, yet he never lost his humble nature. Henry Louis Aaron wasn't just our icon, but one across Major League Baseball and around the world. His success on the diamond was matched only by his business accomplishments off the field and capped by his extraordinary philanthropic efforts.

    "We are heartbroken and thinking of his wife Billye and their children Gaile, Hank, Jr., Lary, Dorinda and Ceci and his grandchildren."

    RIP, Hank.

    He was a special player. I'm not as big a baseball fan as you and others here, but I fully appreciate his ability.

    Stunning, really.

    I remember watching 715 with my Dad. The show we were watching would cut away with each of Aaron's at bat. It's still a great memory for me.
