1/ Hank Aaron changed my life. The greatest moment I ever got to be a part of was catching 715. That moment bonded us forever as friends and teammates. My heart hurts today to learn of his passing. We watched Hank shrug off the weight of the world and just keep swinging.
2/ On that night when the ball landed in my glove, I got a small glimpse into the weight of his world. The tension of the moment and the unbridled elation of running that ball in was an out of body experience.
3/ When I finally got to him, I handed him the ball and said, "Here it is Hammer."

I'd never seen him cry before.
Hank was a true legend who can never truly leave us. Legends teach us how to live and be great like them.

Love you Hammer, we will all miss you.
