Hank Aaron is the 3rd greatest baseball player of all time

#3. Hank Aaron
The real home run champ in my eyes is Henry Aaron. Aaron played in a total of 24 All-Star Games (59-61 there were 2 all star games each year, 21 years of ASG's), had 3,771 hits, 755 home runs, 2,297 RBI, and finished his career with a .305 batting average. Aaron was one of the most consistent hitters in the games history. Aaron never hit 50 home runs in his career, but had 8 season in which he hit 40 or more. Aaron was able to put up record numbers and change the game while battling through extreme racism and millions of baseball fans who did not want to see Babe Ruth's record broken, mainly because Aaron was African American. Aaron was a great baseball player, and an even better role model and man.
