Hammerin Hank Aaron dies at age 86
ATLANTA (CBS 58/AP) Hall of Famer and one-time home run king Henry Louis Hank Aaron passed away Friday, Jan. 22. The Atlanta Braves said he died peacefully in his sleep. He was 86.
Hammerin Hank started and ended his career in Milwaukee. He spent his first 11 years with the Milwaukee Braves and his final two with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Hank set a wide array of records during a 23-year career spent mostly with the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, including RBIs, extra-base hits and total bases. But the Hall of Famer will be remembered for one swing above all others, the one that made him baseball’s home-run king.

The team wrote in a tweet, We are extremely disappointed in the decision involving Jacob s shooting and we will continue to use our platform to advocate and fight for racial justice. This is another reminder that just because racial and social injustice hasn t received as much attention recently, doesn t mean the need to fight against it has gone away.
The Milwaukee Bucks also released a statement, saying they plan to continue pushing for policy changes in law enforcement.

Giannis Antetokounmpo not focused on supermax decision, instead working to improve his game
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) For the first time since the Milwaukee Bucks opened training camp, superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo met with the media on Wednesday, Dec. 9.
The team looks a lot different than the one that was bounced in the NBA Playoffs in the Orlando bubble.
The Greek Freak is especially excited about the addition of Jrue Holiday. Having Holiday on the team, it s big time, he s a great leader he s a great human being, Antetokounmpo said. He can defend he can score the ball, he s gonna bring that edge that we need and the rest of the guys will help us too.
