"The pitcher has got a ball. I've got a bat. So the percentage is in my favor."
-Hank Aaron

For the youth here:

-30 or more HRs in 15 seasons
-40 or more in 8
-If you take away all of his HRs, he still had more than 3k hits.

Just some unbelievable stats there that give you a sense of how long he was a great hitter.

That's insane! Reminds me of how Gretzky would still be the NHL all time leading scorer even if you took away all of his goals. He had that many assists.

Remember listening in the 60’s on my father’s car am radio at night to Koufax facing down Aaron. Talk about a matchup, they ain’t making them like they used to.
