Henry Louis "Hank" Aaron
(February 5, 1934 – January 22, 2021)


Hank Aaron (
"
Hammer" or "Hammerin’ Hank"), was a pro
baseball
right fielder who played 23 seasons in Major
League Baseball
(MLB), from 1954 through 1976.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest baseball players
in history, he spent 21 seasons with the
Milwaukee/
Atlanta Braves
in the National League (NL) and two
seasons with the
Milwaukee Brewers in the American
League
(AL).

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. In
1982, he was
inducted into the
National Baseball Hall of Fame in his
first year of eligibility.

William McKinley (January 29, 1843 – September 14, 1901)

On January 29, 1843, William McKinley, who will become the
25th American president and the first to ride in an automobile, 
was born in Niles,
Ohio. McKinley served in the White House
from 1897 to
1901, a time when the American automotive
industry was in its  infancy. During his presidency, McKinley
(who died from an assassin’s bullet in September 1901) took
a drive in a Stanley Steamer (below), a steam-engine-powered
auto built in the late
1890s by Francis and Freelan Stanley. The
Stanley Motor Carriage
brothers Company produced a number
of steam-powered vehicles before going out of business in the
early 1920s, after being unable
to compete with the rise of less
expensive gas-powered cars.

The Stanley Motor Carriage Company was an American manufacturer
of
steam cars; it operated from 1902 to 1924. The cars made by the company were colloquially called Stanley Steamers, although
several different models were produced.
