Baseball lost one of its greatest legends on Friday when Hall of Famer Hank Aaron died at age 86.
Additional details are not known at this time.
Born on Feb. 5, 1934, in Mobile, Ala., Henry Louis "Hank" Aaron was one of eight children in his family. He grew up loving baseball but the Aaron family was poor and could not afford baseball equipment, so he developed his skills by hitting bottle caps with sticks. Aaron played in the Negro leagues and minor leagues before making his MLB debut in April 1954 with the Milwaukee Braves at just 20 years old.
