Hank is his own man. He was hated by some before he broke Babe Ruth record and received death threats when he was about to. You can't let fear run your life. Hank has always spoke his mind. Hank is one of my heroes.

Don't worry, I won't mention how many at bats each player had to accomplish their respective records.
Oh heck, why not?
It was 12,364 for Aaron and 8,399 for Ruth.
Might as well compare apples to apples instead of oranges, right?
Who knows what the Babe would have done with the extry 3,965 at bats that Aaron had?
I liked Hank and there's no doubt he was a great ballplayer but he was no Babe Ruth.
And we can only imagine the records Babe would have set if he wasn't drunk or hung-over half the time.
I give Aaron a mountain of credit and respect but the Babe was truly the greatest of all time.
I think we can all agree on that.

Could've, would've, should've don't break records. Records are made to be broken. This one to the dismay of some Whites was done by a Black man. Plain and simple. End of story.
