    Hank Aaron Dead: Baseball Legend Died Peacefully in His Sleep at Age 86

    Hank Aaron, the baseball legend who was once Major League Baseball’s homerun king and is a civil rights icon remembered for his humility and grace in the face of racism, has died at the age of 86, his former team, the Atlanta Braves, has confirmed.


    MLB.com, describing Aaron as “a son of the Deep South who soared above its poverty and racism to become one of the most consequential figures in American history,” said he died on Friday, January 22, 2021. He was known as Hammerin’ Hank, and he was one of the best baseball players who ever lived and the last to play in both the $#@! and Major Leagues.


    Aaron’s prowess on the baseball field is matched by his “relentless dignity and grace” as he faced hatred and racism while he pursued – and ultimately vanquished – the 714-home run record held by Babe Ruth. His off-field community presence was just as remembered.

    It appears that he did get a COVID vaccine two weeks prior to his death. I don't know if that was or was not a factor in his death.
