**Honors the life and legacy of Henry "Hank" Aaron, celebrating his baseball greatness and role in advancing civil rights.** Born in Mobile, Alabama in 1934, Aaron rose from the Negro leagues to Major League Baseball and debuted in 1954. He tied Babe Ruth on April 4, 1974 and broke the record with his 715th homer on April 8, 1974, finishing with 755 career home runs and leading MLB in RBIs, extra-base hits, and total bases.
