Dear Editor,
I remember back in middle school I had the opportunity to bring in something very valuable to me for “Show and Tell.”
I decided to bring Hank Aaron’s autobiography, “I Had a Hammer.” You see, my family
had a special connection to this baseball great. My great uncle had the pleasure of managing him while he was a player on the Sally League Team, Jacksonville Braves.
Ben Geraghty was like a patron saint to me, a man who faced insurmountable odds stacked against him and someone that lived a purposeful life.

Saying goodbye to Hank Aaron
A service was held on Tuesday at Truist Park to honor the late Braves legendary slugger Hank Aaron.
ATLANTA - Hank Aaron’s unparalleled accomplishments span from the Midwest to the South, but echo in every ballpark, schoolyard, and sandlots across America. But Tuesday, all eyes were on Truist Park for a private memorial service for the Braves legendary slugger.
The 86-year-old Hall of Famer passed away in his sleep on Friday leaving behind not just a three-decade rule as the home run king on the field, but also a bevy of unseen and mostly unspoken about charity and civil rights work off.

Hank Aaron was more to Atlanta than just a man who hit towering homeruns. Aaron was an advocate, a voice of reason, a lifelong steward of the game. Going into the weekend, we lost Henry Hank Aaron. Now, you can celebrate the life of the Homerun King, but not in person. There will be a memorial service at Truist Park, Tuesday at 1 pm and another one on Wednesday, at Friendship Baptist Church at 1 pm. It s rumored that former MLB Commissioner, Bud Selig, will attend along with former President Bill Clinton. The Braves did open Truist Park over the weekend for fans to pay their respects near the statue of Aaron on the concourse.
