49 years ago tonight 04/08/1974
Hank Aaron from Mobile, Alabama
Hit a home run that gave him the
All time record in M.L.B.
I was an 11 year old boy that night.
I watched the game on TV.
I would never have dreamed that
I would see him later in my life
While Lisa and I attended
Braves games.
In my mind he is still the
Home Run Leader.
Bonds cheated by using
Steroids. He cheated
The game but most of all
Barry Bonds cheated himself.
- Hayden Childs
In playing ball, and in life,
A person occasionally gets
The opportunity to do
Something great.
When that times comes,
Only two things matter…
Being prepared to seize the moment
And having the courage to take
Your best swing.
- Hank Aaron
What you do with your life
And how you do it is not only
A reflection on you,
But on your family and all of
Those institutions that have helped
To make you who you are.
- Hank Aaron
I need to depend on someone who is bigger,
Stronger and wiser than I am.
I don’t do it on my own.
God is my strength.
He gave me a good body and some talent
And the freedom to develop it.
He helps me when things go wrong.
He forgives me when I fall on my face.
He lights the way.
- Hank Aaron
I don’t want people to forget Babe Ruth.
I just want them to remember Henry Aaron.
- Hank Aaron
