Biography:

His 755 career home runs broke the long-standing MLB record set by Babe Ruth and stood as the most for 33 years; Aaron still holds many other MLB batting records. He hit 24 or more home runs every year from 1955 through 1973 and is one of only two players to hit 30 or more home runs in a season at least fifteen times.[1]

In 1999, The Sporting News ranked Aaron fifth on its list of the “100 Greatest Baseball Players”.[2] In 1982, he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

Aaron was born and raised in and around Mobile, Alabama. Aaron had seven siblings, including Tommie Aaron, who played major-league baseball with him. He appeared briefly in the Negro American League and in minor league baseball before starting his major league career.[3]

The Atlanta Falcons will honor the memory of MLB legend Henry “Hank” Aaron during the 2021 NFL season. The Falcons announced Friday that the team will retire No. 44 in 2021 to pay tribute to Aaron. The Falcons won’t be the only Atlanta team to retire the number.

How did die:

Aaron was recently seen in public getting the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine, and encouraged Black Americans to do the same. (Before being released to the public, vaccine-makers went through large, lengthy clinical trials to ensure that their product is completely safe.

On Sept. 8, nine of the leading vaccine makers — including Pfizer and Moderna — signed a pledge vowing to follow “high ethical standards” and not rush a vaccine into production before it is proven to work.)
