Hank Aaron: "didn’t want to be remembered for his home runs"

But he sure could play baseball.

Career: 755 HR (2nd), .305 BA, 2297 RBI (1st), RF/1B, HOF in 1982, 1957 NL MVP, 25xAllStar, 3xGG, Braves/Brewers 1954-1976, b:R/t:R, 4x RBI Leader.

And if you take away his 755 homers, he still had 3016 hits!

“I want to be remembered as someone who was able to — forget about baseball, to play the game the way it’s supposed to be played, but forget about baseball — but be able to help mankind, help other people, to do things that necessarily would help people that didn’t have the ability or the know-how like I did,” Aaron said, per USA Today.

He was a good man and a truly great ball player. How sad that he was a fatal casualty of the Covid-1984 vaccine, which probably killed him 2 and a half weeks after he took it.
