This was reported on CBS on Friday morning.

The Alabama native, who played 755 career tours, spent the vast majority of his career with the Braves, who played in Milwaukee and Atlanta during his 21-year stint with the club. He also signed with the Milwaukee Brewers (1974-1975).

Only Barry Bonds has hit more long balls than him in his career. Babe Ruth is third with 714 home runs.

Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982, Aaron ended his major league career with a batting average of .305, 3771 hits and 2297 points produced.

Aaron symbolizes much more than just a baseball player, he has faced a lot of racism throughout his career. He has even received death threats on numerous occasions. Always remaining humble, Aaron has overcome all the obstacles that his time has imposed on him.
