Hank Aaron, one of the best baseball players of all time and longtime home run leader, died Friday at age 86.
Aaron spent most of his Hall of Fame with the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves before spending his final two seasons back in Milwaukee with the Brewers. Perhaps best known for his 755 career home runs, Aaron was far more than just a power hitter. He batted .305 over his 23-year career. He still holds the all-time record for career runs batted in (2,297) and is No. 3 all-time in career hits (3,771).
