Baseball legend Hank Aaron is dead at the age of 86.
The Atlanta Braves said Aaron died peacefully in his sleep. No cause of death was given.
"Hammerin' Hank'' set a wide array of career hitting records during a 23-year career spent mostly with the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, including RBIs, extra-base hits and total bases.
But the Hall of Famer will be remembered for one swing above all others, the one that made him baseball's home-run king. It was a title he would hold for more than 33 years.
Aaron made his last public appearance less than two weeks ago when he received the COVID-19 vaccine.
