Hank Aaron was one of the best baseball players to ever play the game, and to his credit he did it during the most difficult time in our country's history. Hank Aaron played the game during a time when it wasn't in the best interest of a black athlete to be putting up numbers like he did. During these volatile times Hank appeared in fourteen World Series games, won three Gold Gloves, and hit .300 or better in fourteen seasons, but what Hank Aaron is known best for is breaking Babe Ruth's home run record.
