"When Henry came up, I heard the fans yell 'Hit that n****r. Hit that n****r.' Then Henry hit the ball up against the clock. The next time he came up, they said, 'Walk him! Walk him!' - Herbert Aaron, Henry's father
Henry Aaron is the greatest home run hitter to ever play the game. He accomplished so much in the face of adversity. Others hit for record with crowd support, Aaron did it with death threats and hate. He is a hero both on and off the field. Happy Birthday Henry
