Hank Aaron is synonymous with home runs, but there was much more to Hammerin' Hank than his 755 roundtrippers. He also set all-time marks for the most games, at-bats, total bases and RBI, and his batting average over 23 seasons was .305?indications of the all-around ability of this quiet man from Mobile. The National League MVP in 1957, he appeared in a record 24 All-Star contests with the Braves (Milwaukee and Atlanta) and Brewers.
