RIP Hank Aaron

A superstar in so many ways. The real home run king.

I was fortunate enough to spend some time with him nearly 20 years ago during a morning waiting for jury duty selection funnily enough. No one save myself seemed to recognize him and I gathered the courage to say hi and pay respects. I'm a huge baseball fan and historian but couldn't think of a thing to say in the moment. But he had a hard-drive-based iPod with him which was funny at the time as they had recently been released and I think I showed him a thing or two about navigating around. There were some sales trainings on there that he was listening to (he owned some car dealerships in the area).

A real hometown hero to all generations.
