It was a summer night in 2006, and a gentleman approached the offices of the @DurhamBulls and asked at the front desk if you could buy a ticket for that night's game. Yes, Hank Aaron was in Durham and was going to buy an $8 ticket.

Fortunately, he was immediately recognized and was told Mr Aaron, you're not paying for a ticket, and he spent the majority of the night in the owner of the @DurhamBulls suite.
Plus an inning in the broadcast booth.

Remember, this was also the year before the HR record was about to be broken.
You could not have imagined a more gracious kind individual, especially considering all he went through in life.

I also recall Ben Zobrist, who was recently traded to the #Rays coming out of the clubhouse to say "Mr Aaron, I just want to shake your hand."

Such a cool night. Hank Aaron was the home run champ, and the champ of treat people as you want to be treated. #RIPHankAaron
