Sportscentury Greatest Athletes: Hank Aaron

From his 1954 debut through his final game in October 1976, Henry 'Hammerin' Hank' Aaron set an astonishing number of baseball firsts that included the most consecutive seasons with 150 or more hits and the most home runs of any season - 755, topping Babe Ruth's prior record of 714. In the process, Aaron ironically drew ire and bigoted disgust from some ignorant racist fans of the sport, even as he lifted millions of others to new heights of elation. Now, the 45 minute ESPN documentary Sportscentury Greatest Athletes: Hank Aaron pays homage to Aaron with a combination of exclusive interviews and stunning archival footage that trace the ballplayer's career and accomplishments.
