The world of baseball lost a living legend on Friday morning when it was reported that Hall of Famer Hank Aaron passed away at the age of 86. The Los Angeles Dodgers paid tribute to Aaron’s contributions to the game of baseball on and off the field, as was their duty.
In his 23 seasons as a major league baseball player, 21 of those were spent in the National League playing for the Milwaukee and then the Atlanta Braves.
