AND HE HAD A GOOD HEART ALSO TOWARDS THE KIDS IN THE RIGHT FIELD BLECHERS AT THE OLD MILWAUKEE COUNTY STADIUM. DURING PREGAME PRACTICE THE BLECHERS WOULD OPEN EARLY AND A BUNCH OF US GUY WOULD GET THERE EARLY TO CATCH SOME PRACTICE BALLS. WELL, HANK AARON WAS ALWAYS IN RIGHT FIELD AND IT WASN'T BELOW HIM TO CATCH A BALL AND TOSS US GUYS A FEW. HE ALSO WASN'T TO STOP BY THE FENCE AND TALK WITH US A FEW MINUTES OR SHOW US HOW TO FIELD A FLY OR HOT GROUND BALL. LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT MADE HIM A SUPER GIANT OF A MAN AND PLAYER IN MINE AND MY FRIENDS EYES. "HAMMERIN'" HANK AARON WILL LIVE FOREVER IN THE MINDS OF MANY THAT HE TOUCHED WITH HIS SELFLESS BEING. LOVE YOU HANK, AND MAY PEACE BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

Thanks Mark. As long as we are wandering down Memory Lane I saw Hammerin' Hank's 1st at bat in the American League....Opening Day, Fenway Park, 1975, Brewers v. Red Sox. Single up the middle. Also Tony Conigliaro's 1st at bat in a comeback attempt after beaning. A long time ago.
