A true legend and great spokesmen for baseball.
R.I.P. to yet another of my childhood legends.
huh....never realized the guy was trying to steal his cap!!??
I just thought he was trying to hug him.... [Reply]
True loss of a man who's greatness was quiet and understated. From ROTY to the greatest HR hitter ever (fuck Bonds!) and on to an ambassador for the sport that gave him so much. [Reply]
I hope the Braves win the WS and dedicate the season to Aaron. I'm bummed... the dude was constantly in the booth during broadcasts and attended nearly every home game.
