Hammerin' Hank
He was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama.
Soon, he was famous all over America.
He played for the Braves in Milwaukee and Atlanta.
Considered to be among professional baseball's elite,
watching him hit homeruns was certainly a treat.
Hank made the chief do a war dance beyond the outfield.
Mr. Aaron did this numerous times with each homer he would yield.
Yes, everyone would soon know this great man's name.
On the first ballot, he made the Hall of Fame.
However, I heard some bad news the other day.
On January 22, this great player passed away.
Hank Aaron (1934-2021)
