A cause of death was not announced.
The Hall of Fame outfielder and one-time home run king passed away Friday morning.
Aaron was a native of Alabama whose career began in the Negro Leagues, but quickly took him to the Majors, where he landed with the Milwaukee Braves.
He soon made his mark as one of the most dangerous power hitters in baseball.
Aaron finished his career with a record 755 homers, a stat so impressive it has been bested by only one player, Barry Bonds, who finished his career with 762 – though that record has come under a cloud of steroid-use allegations.
