A gentleman and a heck of an athlete. May he Rest In Peace.
Ignore any virtue-signaling; it's clearly just you.
Ignore any activism; it clearly doesn't exist.
Be very careful!
Don't be indoctrinated!
Ignore your common sense!
Everything is entirely normal and ignore the radical changes to culture.

great comment you hit it right on the nose.
Such are promises
All lies and jest

I think one of the hardest things to do in sports is hit a homerun, and Hank Aaron hit 755 of them. We hear about Jackie Robinson, about how much abuse and insults he had to endure being the first African American to make MLB and that was certainly true. Hank Aaron had is own share of racist scumbag detractors that did not want to see Babe Ruth's career homerun record eclipsed, which make the fact that he was able to surpass the Babe in those final years all that more impressive. Even though there have been all of these juiced up steroid freaks that have eclipsed some of these homerun records, for me, Hank Aaron will always be the ultimate career homerun king in my book.
