Hank Aaron was definitely before my time, but like anyone who remotely enjoys baseball, I know the name. I seem to recall getting a pack of baseball cards when I was a kid from collecting cereal box proof of purchases or something along those lines, which helped introduce me to some of the names of the greats like Roberto Clemente, Stan Musial, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, etc. Anyways, at unfortunate times like this, I always find it interesting to read the old articles in the SI Vault, which definitely feel like they're from a different era. Lots of good ones linked at the bottom of this article: https://www.si.com/mlb/2021/01/22/hank-aaron-legacy-hall-of-fame-obituary
