The city of Atlanta was at the center stage when it hosted Super Bowl LIII on Sunday and with it came all the festivities and celebration. To contribute, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith dropped a list of the “Top 5 All-Time Atlanta Athletes” and it’s tough to argue against the names he chose: all good, valid choices. In it includes someone who most would agree is the GREATEST Atlanta athlete of all time, Atlanta Braves hall-of-famer Hank Aaron.
The “Hammer” (Happy 85th Birthday!) is a living legend and rightfully sits atop the list.
