Hank Aaron

Richard Arndt, a Milwaukee Brewers groundskeeper, came up with the ball when Hank Aaron hit his 755th and final home run over the left field fence on July 20, 1976. He supposedly offered to return the ball to Aaron under the condition that he could hand it over in person, but this request was denied. Arndt was subsequently fired for refusing to surrender the baseball. In 1999 he auctioned it with a starting price of 850,000 dollars but cancelled the auction due to low bids. Andrew Knuth of Connecticut later bought the ball for 650,000 dollars and now keeps it in a "very safe place," according to Knuth.

What was Henry Aarons accomplishments

Breaking Babe Ruth's home run record would have to be at the top.

Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron's career record in 2007. He finished the season, and perhaps his career, with 762 lifetime home runs, seven more than Aaron's 755. Bonds hasn't yet announced his retirement, but almost one month into the 2008 season, no one has hired him to play. His contract with the San Francisco Giants expired after the 2007 season. The Giants declined to bring him back, even after fourteen years with the club. Ken Griffey, Jr. has the most career home runs among active players with 597. At 38 years old, he is considered a long shot to break Bonds' record. In his three most recent seasons, Griffey has average 31 homers per campaign. To break Bonds' record, he would need to continue at this pace for more than six seasons to exceed 762. Given Griffey's injury-prone nature in the second half of his career, such an extended career beyond 40 years old seems very unlikely. More likely is "Junior" finishing with about 650 homers, perhaps getting past Willie Mays' figure of 660 to climb to fourth on the all-time list behind Bonds, Aaron and Babe Ruth. The active player with the best chance of besting Bonds' career home run record appears to be Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez. Rodriguez, who will turn 33 in July 2008, has 522 career home runs, and needs another 241 (assuming Bonds is through) to become the all-time career recordholder. In his 12 full seasons, Rodriguez has averaged 42 home runs per year. Six such years would add 252 homers to his total of 518 to start 2008, giving him 770 home runs at the end of the 2013 season, during which he would turn 38 years old. Even if Rodriguez doesn't continue to homer at his career pace for the next six years, the prospect of him playing 3 or 4 more years after age 38, as many sluggers do, including Aaron and Bonds, makes it likely that Rodriguez will finish his career as the HR recordholder, barring a career-ending injury.

If you mean Hank Aaron, out of seven siblings I only found Tommie, who played in the league with Hank. http://www.thebaseballpage.com/players/aaronha01.php

Hank Aaron made his major league debut in 1954 with the Milwaukee Braves at the age of 20. He suffered a broken ankle, but still played in 122 games, 116 in the outfield, hit .280 and belted 13 home runs.

old

Yes, more than once... 49 was his personal high -----
Aaron hit 44 home runs in 1957, 40 in 1960, 45 in 1962, 44 in 1963, 44 in 1966, 44 in 1969, 47 in 1971, and 40 in 1973.

What a fantastic question!! Where to start... Aaron was a power hitter who also hit for high batting average. He was a defensive standout, in my opinion the best right fielder of his era except for Roberto Clemente. He was consistent: He broke the all-time home run record without ever hitting 50 in any one season. He consistently delivered clutch hits and RBIs and he was always dignified and resolute in his pursuit of greatness even in the face of racism and bigotry. Even when I was a kid and we didn't imagine that he would one day break Babe Ruth's record we were in awe of Aaron's skill. After his playing days he was in charge of the Braves' minor league system and was responsible for developing players that got the Braves division titles year after year. Henry Aaron is what every single kid who picks up a bat and glove should aspire to be.
