Portion of title Hank Aaron
Abstract Baseball player Henry "Hank" Aaron was born in Mobile, Alabama on February 5, 1934. His family moved to Toulminville, a suburb of Mobile, when he was eight years old. In 1951, he joined the semi-pro Mobile Black Bears, and a year later, was recruited to join the Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro Leagues. He played briefly, until the Milwaukee Braves of the Major Leagues bought his contract. Aaron arrived in the Major Leagues in 1954, immediately becoming a force and leading the Braves to a World Series title in 1957. A regular leader in batting average and home runs, Aaron was a single shot behind Babe Ruth following the 1973 season, but tied the record the next season, and broke it on April 8, 1974. He was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982, also receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom that year. He opened a series of car dealerships following retirement.
