ATLANTA (WGCL/CBS46) - MLB legend “Hammer” Hank Aaron, was laid in his final resting place surrounded by former teammates, friends and family Wednesday.
It was a ceremony fit for a home run king, nearly one year after his death.
His dear friend Henrietta Antonin sang his favorite song to start the ceremony.
His widow, Billye Aaron, sat tearfully during the entombment service for her best friend and husband, who she says she will treasure forever.
COVID fears could not keep his other close friends from traveling, some across country, to say goodbye.
Hall of famer Ken Griffey Jr.
