Sunday BP: Hank Aaron memories

Hello and happy Sunday.

As you all know by now, legendary baseball player and legendary human being Hank Aaron died on Friday. Aaron retired well before I was born, so I have no memories of watching him play baseball. Instead, my strongest memory of him is his congratulatory video to Barry Bonds when the San Francisco Giants slugger hit home run No. 756.

What’s your favorite memory of Aaron?
