A measure has been introduced in the U.S. Senate to honor the life and legacy of baseball’s legend Hank Aaron, who died at age 86 in 2021.
ATLANTA, Ga. - A measure has been introduced in the U.S. Senate to honor the life and legacy of baseball’s legend Hank Aaron.
Congressman David Scott, member of the House Agriculture Committee, was joined by members of the Georgia delegation to introduce a resolution honoring the life and legacy of the late Henry “Hank” Louis Aaron, who would have celebrated his 89th birthday on February 5. “I, along with fellow representatives from the great state of Georgia, am deeply privileged to introduce this resolution to honor the illustrious accomplishments of legendary baseball player Hank Aaron,” said Congressman David Scott. “My wife, Alfredia, was Hank Aaron’s sister and we are personally honored to recognize a man who was family to us and a hero to millions of Americans. While being an all-time great player, Hank’s impact is felt far beyond the confines of the ballpark.
The introduction of this measure was applauded by the Braves organization, which stated, “Hank Aaron was not only an icon of the Atlanta Braves, but one across the baseball community around the world. His incredible accomplishments on the field were matched with his community efforts and philanthropy away from the baseball diamond, which made him truly one-of-kind. We are proud to see Congressman David Scott honor Hank’s legacy with this very special resolution.
He then moved with the Braves to Atlanta, Georgia in 1966 where he would play for the majority of his career.
