On Friday, Henry “Hammerin’ Hank” Aaron passed away at the age of 86. Widely considered one of the very best to ever play the game, Hank Aaron has been an ambassador for the game long after he retired from the game in 1976. Many people have been writing tributes to him for everything he did on and off the field (a few of my favorites are linked below the jump) and I found myself incapable of saying anything of value, especially on a Colorado Rockies blog. So I started thinking about his numbers, which are truly crazy both in their magnitude and their consistency.
Hank Aaron was one of the best. Imagine if he played at Coors Field
