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

 Nicknamed "Hammer" or "Hammerin’ Hank", was a professional
baseball right fielder who played 23 seasons in Major League
Baseball from 1954 through 1976.

Considered one of the greatest baseball players in history, he
spent 21 seasons with the Milwaukee /Atlanta Braves in the
National League and two seasons with he Milwaukee Brewers
in the American League.

At the time of his retirement, Aaron held most of the game’s key
career power-hitting records. He broke the long-standing MLB
record for career home runs held by Babe Ruth and remained
the career leader for 33 years, until Barry Bonds surpassed his
famous total of 755 in 2007.
