Meanwhile, not a good look for #MLB. They edited the statement below out of Vin Scully's original call when #HankAaron broke the HR record.
Craig Calcaterra: "...when you omit 'A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol' from Scully's call you completely alter what he was describing as 'marvelous.' Scully was NOT just broadly marveling. He was marveling at a very specific, very important thing." #baseball #ASG #vinscully

My dad saved the newspapers from when Hank Aaron tied then beat Babe Ruth's home run record. I found them after he died and I was going through the ton of ephemera he kept.
I thought of maybe trying to sell them but I'm not sure what the market is for old newspapers, and as a Braves fan (mostly in the 90s) myself I find myself dragging my feet over finding out. Anyway, it's nice to look at and share them on anniversaries.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the day baseball player Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's all-time home run record. Here's a @Flipboard Storyboard to honor the occasion. In the words of announcer Vin Scully: "What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world. A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol.”

Hank Aaron rose above racist hate mail and threats in pursuit of Ruth's home run record 50 years ago
‘One time the FBI wanted to come meet with him on a Sunday and asked him not to play because they felt they had legitimate death threats on him’

I took some footage of flowers, bees, and other pollinators from my latest walk down along the Hank Aaron trail, which runs along the Menominee river. Looking for something beautiful and relaxing? Here's a bit over 8 minutes!

More overt lies by #GymJordan. On the House floor, he pushed the claim that baseball great, Hank Aaron, died as a result of the #COVID vaccine. This is one of the lies #RFKjr has been peddling. But the claim isn’t true. It’s been disproven over and over again. #HankAaron died of natural causes at the age of 86. As usual, Republicans are simply incapable of discerning truth from fiction, so they just say whatever is most convenient, and hope it's true. It's never true.
