Yesterday marked the 84th birthday of an Atlanta Braves treasure. His is part of a ‘season’ of birthdates for several greats of baseball: Babe Ruth (February 6), Roberto Alomar (Feb 5), Red Schoendienst (Feb 2), Ernie Banks, Jackie Robinson and Nolan Ryan (all Jan 31)… all members of the Hall of Fame.
Aaron has been one of the most visible Hall of Fame members in the history of baseball because the Braves’ franchise have rightly embraced him as an ambassador of the game… and simply because he is still with us as well.
