Hank Aaron passed away

Recommended Posts

How can one do what Hank did, and still be the most underrated player of all time? 

RIP to the HR king.

People say he was a compiler,  never had a bunch of huge seasons. I don’t agree. Consistency has its benefits.

And not to mention Mays was in NY many years to start. Mantle got all the attention at that time also

For sure...... In some regards, this is sort of happening to Trout. If he played in Boston or NY - he'd be a sports titan.

Trout also refuses to be a marketing tool and does not do much PR stuff in the off-season.. He only wants to play baseball and does not care about being a brand

They said he was in good health when he got the vaccine.

He never got the second dose as far as I can tell.  That’s the one that tends to cause more side effects.
