ATLANTA -- Hank Aaron's imprint is firmly stamped on the World Series.
His No. 44 has been painted on the grass in center field at the Braves' Truist Park all season. It remained in big, bold green for Friday night's Game 3 against the Houston Astros.
The impact of Aaron, the Hall of Famer who died on Jan. 22, is seen in much more than the number.
"Hank's footprints are all over this series," Houston manager Dusty Baker said.
The Braves honored Aaron before the game, playing a video tribute to The Hammer.
