"And, uh, the fact that his roots we're talking about one of somebody even idea the greatest Major league baseball player of all time. That is roots of firmly entrenched in the Negro leagues. Starting as an 18 year old kid leaving Mobile Alabama to go join the Indianapolis clowns in 1952, as you mentioned Skinny, cross handed hitting shortstop. When Mr Allen's case, he was a right hand hitter who was hitting with his left hand on top. That, of course, is enough to doctor the fears that you break your wrist Sitting in that matter, Henry Aaron was not going to cover off the baseball in a highly unorthodox fashion when he gets to the clouds that good right hand on top. And the rest, As we say is history. So, yeah. So for so many who come to the museum, there's this wonderful, almost non descript photograph of him. Standing at the train station about to go leave to join the Indianapolis cloud. He must have weighed 100 and 50 £160 you know at that time, and he looks a little bit afraid. And yet there was also kind of look like okay, he's destined for greatness. You know, and he has a bag, a little duffle bag at his foot. And he told me says, Bob, I may have had Changes of clothes in that bag. Dollar 50 cents in my pocket and a ham sandwich that my mama had made me going to go chase that dream. It worked out pretty well for the happen. That's a great story. Bob Kendrick joins us this morning on the show, president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City. How about the staff that Hank Air and you could take away all 755 of his home runs? You still have 3000 hits. I mean, how amazing of a baseball player and a hitter was Hank Aaron. Great here a great here too, And I think sometimes that gets often overlooked. Because of the home run. Actually, That's one of the most remarkable stats of all take all seven. Unfit five home. Other ways still has over. 3000 hits his total base record. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we'll never be broken. His R B I record will likely never be broken. He was a great defensive outfielder. He didn't get his just due because he played the corner outfield and you know, so he didn't play center field like really Did Willie the great lily bass? Ondo. That's the glamour position, but he always made the right throw. He always prided himself on being a student of the game. Steady. Good game just did everything right. He could still bases. You could still the whole lot more bases. You know if you wanted to. The Braves really didn't want him to steal a whole bunch of bases on, so he just did everything great. He was just a model and a pillar of consistency. But his numbers will never truly define who Henry Aaron Woz. Henry Aaron just happen to be one of the greatest human beings that ever walked the face of dessert. We'll just have to be one of the greatest baseball player. You ever walked the face of this earth on so what? We look at Henry Aaron to civil rights icon. Henry Aaron to philanthropist, humanitarian Henry Aaron, who dedicated his life. To try and help those who have been marginalized in this country gain equality on and that's the Henry Aaron that you know I will remember. And it's also the Henry and that the kid from Georgia got a chance to share again. Ah, platter of Gates, barbecue ribs with them every time he saw me, and he and his wife would say You didn't bring me the real review. A great life lived. Hank Aaron, one of the greatest life's ever lived Hank Aaron, and one of the great things about the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is that the community and the city of Kansas City Completely embraces it. And Buck O'Neil So many people around the country Remember Buck and his smiling face part of the baseball documentary by Ken Burns, and he was such a face of the museum, but the museum has picked up steam every year and every decade. And you've seen that and you've been front and center for that. Patrick Mahomes recently is really adopted it as one of his own as well placed that he loves going to baseball teams come into town to play the Royals. They often times will go there. Football teams well coming into play the chief's what type of evolution has the museum gone through in recent years? It's been amazing. It really asked. I mean, you think about this local grassroots organization that started a tiny one room office in 1990. Historic 18 design, and Kansas City wants a very problem, prominent African American community during that era of segregation, But like a lot of communities it had died, and here comes little Negro Leagues Baseball Museum to not on Lee Come along to preserve and celebrating, educate this piece of baseball and Americana that few folks knew anything about, but also at the same time, try and resurrect. This wonderful community that had a kind of died and when we started Buck O'Neil and other local Negro leaders who were still with us at that time that say they passed on. There's not a single player left in Kansas City. They literally took turns paying the monthly rent to keep that little office open. And with it our hopes and dreams of one day building a facility that would pay rifle tribute to not only one of the great chapters in baseball history, but what now? Thousands and thousands of visitors each and every year..

I don't know what you dressed like in Atlanta. He dressed a couple of lockers. We don't have lockers. We just had a stall. He dressed right next to me. So I you know, I tried. You know, the mail everything you know, no matter what it was. I was next to him kindly every day. He was just a special guy. You know, He's one of those guys when you When you first met him, he got there's Henry Aaron that should I talk to him. Can I talk to him? One of my father's most memorable moments in my long career occurred at County Stadium on September 23rd 1957 2 Braves in the ST Louis Cardinals were locked in a very close race for the National League pennant. That night, the Braves had the opportunity to clinch the pennant with a victory. When Henry came to the right and hitting laser to center field home run game over Braves win the pennant Braves go, the world's fans went wild, sooner. The braise. It was an incredible celebration. The image of the great Aaron deliriously happy being hoisted on the shoulders of his teammates. Being carried off the field. Isn't Della be implanted in my memory? Obviously, Milwaukee is an enormous place and Henry are in place and and and vice versa. He meant a lot to everyone there. Well, I think the number one thing was that he was so colossally unpretentious. I always say when people ask me what it's like to do this job when you're around famous people and especially professional athlete that we say that they professional athletes, whether they do it or not, always make you feel like you're part of their entourage like you. Follow them and worship them and work to them. And Henry was never like that. When you sat down with him, he actually was many questions about your life is you get about him? It was almost as though he was. It wasn't though he was far more interested in hearing about other people than he was talking about himself. He also was going to the Claire, Wisconsin, where I think you played some minor league ball on be thought that the people of Milwaukee treated him well with those great Braves teams in the 19 fifties and into B Mid sixties when they left for Atlanta, and he was a guy among his many qualities. Who was oil. If you were a true friend to him, he was going to be a true friend to you and bugs like had always treated him with great kindness and respect. And Hank reciprocated that so he would come back to Milwaukee and what Bud was the commissioner, but made sure I give him great credit for this, but make sure that baseball honored tank our and appropriately So here's the thing here. You're playing with a man. Who was your idol? And then watching him take batting practice. Watch the way he put that helmet on kind of kind of a backwards. I mean, just the thing he did. He was polite. He would never tell you what to do. He never did. He never did. But he did. Tell me one day we were playing against California. So he's the gulf gonna come over here. I'm gonna call the deck seven pitches. I'm sitting there right next to him. You know, he said something. You listen. He said, Yeah. You know if he wiggles Finger. That will be a fastball coming. Don't miss it. I just okay. I want to take wonderful people of Milwaukee and Atlanta where I spent my baseball career. All of you. Have touched my life in a very positive way. I'm so very grateful to you and so pleased that you could share this evening with me. Thank you very much. So set your calendars. I'm gonna be checking this out. Sunday afternoon. One o'clock.

This is probably the most amazing day I've ever been able to spend in my professional career. Was lucky to produce a panel. This was in Cincinnati in 2015 for the Major League Baseball All Star game. We did a panel for MLB network and it was really nice. Henry Aaron, Sandy Koufax and Johnny Bench in a room just the four of them and Bob Costas narrated a conversation with them and You know, the conversation was free flowing and absolutely incredible. I think I was. I was one of you know, six other people in the room to witness that conversation, which was absolutely as a baseball geek, one of the coolest things you could ever imagine in your life. But the conversation often turned to the fact that they had to Find other ways to make money later in life, which is why autographs was such an issue to this day for someone like Sandy Koufax, right? It wasn't about the money like it is today, and these guys would all have hundreds of millions of dollars in today's times. You did also spend some time with Hank Aaron himself in making the movie And when I see him interviewed over the years and heard him speak the word that Comes to mind for me from the outside looking in.

"And George will is one of the clearest conservative voices in this country. And he's also a really big baseball fan. That's why he's on the afternoon news today. George Welcome to W G. N We'll be with you. You want to start with a personal story, and then we'll get to the important stuff. Henry Aaron, But I met you at Wrigley Field of all places, and it was in the eighties. And it was I was a young punk. At the time. There was a 12th conversation. But I walked up to you. I said, Mister. Well, it's such and such. I'm really happy to meet you. I said. Read and appreciate everything you write. I seldom agree with you, but I never miss it and you looked at me and you said, Well, that's permissible and it's something really. I'm not kidding at all seriously. It has stayed with me throughout my career, because You know, it's a good thing to remember. And we've kind of lost that permissibility. Exactly Mara disagreements part of the fun of life, but not the agony. Yeah. All right. Let's talk about Henry Aaron. Um, you know, 86 years old, a long life. But just wondering what you were thinking when you heard the news this morning. Well, first one of astonishing Ingredient, whatever it is a simple water and mobile Alabama central pages from there. Really McCovey, Ozzie Smith, Billy Williams of the Cub. More Hall of Famers and there And the best, of course, is Henry Aaron, who's arguably the best player of all time. He's a wonderful guy. He left home at age 17. He was completely uncoachable. He was a right handed hitter. When he held a bat had his left hand on top. He didn't even know how to handle it back. But through the amazing consistency and the extraordinary worth like work ethic, you know, a lot of people that were Henry was a natural hitter. Uh, Bill Russell, the great African American basketball player for the Celtics got so tired of people saying, Well, Bill Russell's a great natural player, because if this comes naturally to me, what am I doing on the basketball court is a teenager in the sweltering summer in the Bay Area, and I'm the asshole. Practicing. So this this claim baseball's hard and no one ever did it with more consistency and excellence than Henry Aaron. I was 11 years old in 1974. Of course, I remember is a big baseball card collecting kid. Where was the videos? Obviously, everywhere these days, But as an 11 year old, I knew Henry Aaron has a home run hitter. I didn't realize what a great hitter he was. If you take away his 700 some home runs Subtract them. He still has 3000 hits. That's how good he was still leads in Chicago and not understand something that Henry Aaron was the first but barely the first. To say that sluggers don't need big biceps like Ted Cruz, this kid back in the fifties of the Cincinnati Reds. They need strong wrists in the second person who did this coming right on. Henry's heels would have been Ernie Banks. Exactly. We're talking to Fergie Jenkins earlier today, Fergie says he only gave up 200 stand re Aaron, which I think is the point of pride. But the other thing is, yeah. The other thing is, you know, um as a kid and not being you know, I think it's It's interesting how we relate by our age to the events of the day, right. So as an 11 year old, I was just watching this Babe Ruth record being broken. I had no idea Of the You know the animosity. He faced it the racism, he faced it. You know, we played a cut of him earlier today, saying that during the entire season he had a player assistant player who would Bring his dinner to his room because he couldn't stay with the in the same hotel. That's just I did not know that part of the story. Loving You want an example of how far Americans comes from Henry Aaron's dead when he first came up in the early to mid 19 fifties Time magazine? Noticed government decided to write about him historic and this This is time today is a shadow of its former self. Back Then time was a Mount Everest in America's journalistic landscape. The story they wrote, was called The headline was the talented Shut for and it said, And I'm quoting He's not as dumb as he looks when he shuffles around the field. I think about that I was reading that the Atlanta I don't know which paper would have been at the time but referred to him a step and fetch it in stories about the ball game. And Henry Henry Aaron had a quiet grace and elegance, but they called it shuffling. When Joe DiMaggio had a quiet grace and elegance. They called it a quiet grace and elegance. It's you know, wear do better at this today can we ought to take some pride in that We talk a lot about Jackie Robinson as we should. I did not realize how much more we should talk about. Henry Aaron. When it comes to all of this, I was that operation push. I was trying to remember when this would have been the late eighties early nineties, back when there was a real push to get more black men in the leadership roles in baseball, and Jesse Jackson had all these different African American baseball players and leaders there. Henry Aaron was there. As well. And you know, that was just the thrill for a young reporter at the time. So while you're here, I want to ask you then we've got that in the seventies from the fifties to the seventies, And now here we are in the age of Twitter and social media, and it seems as if sports now is more politicized than ever. I'm thinking of the Curt Schilling thing that's going on now. Or even just college athletes who are having their say NFL athletes who are taking any politics has moved into sports like it's never been. I think you tell me Also think might be a good thing that these players who never had a voice are now exercising a voice. What are you thoughts on that? I mean, it's a good thing up to a point. Uh, I think it's important, however, for everyone on every side of every political issue to understand this sports are past time, their entertainment They are where we go, in part to get away from the saturation of our society with political argument, So I think everyone has to be careful that Way, allow a ballpark or a basketball arena. Football stadium to be a place where you can escape from some of the hectoring and constant argument and being bombarded with political opinions that I'm afraid has become so normal in American life Know is you see that I agree with you? I guess the point I was trying to make is that Too often. The players views were ignored or overrun. And now they're being heard a little bit more. I like that. But I also I agree with you. I want to go to Wrigley and watch a game. I don't want to know what party the batter belongs to. Exactly and Kurt shelling. I don't know that from the right there. People who want to know that from the left. George will thanks very much for joining us today. Certainly appreciate it. I have to be ready and I'm agreeing with you. More and more..

"Extraordinarily call extraordinary call from Vin Scully? They're you know, Buster. We can talk about the significance of Aaron as a cultural figure, and we will do that endlessly. Can we talk quickly about him is a ballplayer because he that those are things that sometimes I think, get for gotten because he became so much larger than that. But Hemo sent me a slew of numbers here mean Buster. Let's talk about Hank Aaron is a ballplayer, first and foremost. And incredibly well rounded player. Someone who you know was just the Metrodome of power in a year after year after year, hitting 40 homers, he actually you know, While building toward that record of 755, he never hit more than 47 homers in any season. But he also was a great defender, and he was a terrific base runner of you know, he helped the Braves when the world Syriza and 1957. I've always thought of Willie Mays being the greatest major leaguer. I think Hank there and it would be in the top three. You know you someone when you would see him in person in retirement, it reminded you this was you know, baseball's greatest slugger was not a large man, but he had these unbelievably strong and quick wrists and you would hear stories. From his peers from Bob Gibson from Sandy Cove, fax, others talking about how how dead dangerous it was the pitch him inside because of how quick those wrists were. He was a terrific all around player that came in part from batting cross handed when he was growing up, and when he played in the Negro leagues, and that helped produce incredible hand and wrist strength, and I can I can talk to two other quick things. As far as him as a player if you took away all 755 of his home runs He would still have 3000 hips, is the only member of the 500 home run club in baseball history. Who could say that and of him? Here's another note. Hambo is just sending me notes left and right in its Chokes you up. Muhammed Ali once said of Hank Aaron. He's the only man I idolized more than myself.

"Which days you thought about that impossible view for for Fran, Chester Martin Brennaman and his first game behind the Mike to call Henry Aaron 714th career home run. Let me give you a call or tie of sorts. With between Henry Aaron and the Reds, Dusty Baker. You may remember, I do this. This feature called 10 teammates and a hat where I left. My name's great stuff. It's a great segment, and so I could one with Dusty Baker and, you know she played forever and mounted. So there were a million names in this hat. He pulls out 10 names, and one of them is Henry up proceeds to tell the story of how he was an 18 year old kid and the Raves wanted to sign him. Um, his mom didn't want to decide Is Mom wanted Dusty Baker to go to college. So the Braves had Henry Aaron make the pitch to Dusty Baker's mom. For wise. He's inside a professional baseball contract. And not go to college, and Henry Aaron said that Dusty's mom, Listen, Listen, This is Baker. I will take care of him like he's my own son. I will make sure he goes to church. Make sure he goes to bed early. I'll get him up and make sure he hasn't breakfast. And that's what Henry Aaron did for 18 year old Dusty Baker when he started out his professional baseball career was on the field. With Henry, and when he hit that home run from the Braves, Dusty Baker, Dusty Baker was on deck. Dusty Baker was the on deck hitter when Henry Aaron hit number 7 15 and who was the young part second base that first designated it was a home run. That I don't know. You got me on that one. Let me give you a hint. He later died of Riverfront Stadium and home plate, Boy, I certainly remember that incident, but now I'm drawing a blank on the name of the Cherry Empire. Harry. That's right. He was the one to second base called it. And then what was 74? I think it was 1996. I'm like that. About 22. Years later, he died at home plate, and I'm thinking And then they had the big ceremony on you might be too young to recall if you're a young man, but in 1974, they stopped the game outcome. Bowie Kuhn, who kind of order that he playing the game. There was Pete Rose, Johnny Bench Henry Aaron, Tony Perez, Joe Morgan, Dusty Baker all there, and they did some sort of ceremony on the field. And Henry said, you know, kept saying, Look, let's play baseball her and then enough for this and the guy who was over this 3 74 Mark and left Center field. Sitting in the third row with a glove in his hand at the age of 12 was Brian Combs. How about that? Brian comes got the tickets the day before from Bob Braun, who was doing a TV show broadcast it. Also here he went on is a 12 year old boy dressed his Mr Red with a big job he's gonna bring in the photo and Bob Brown said here, young man. Here's two tickets to Mars game. It was in the Philly Market Parade, and Brian comes watch the ball fall more less at his feet. Picked up by an UMP picked up by a cop in his first year name. Police officer Clarence Williams of CPM because he was a rookie cop. He was the guy in between the wall and the frame of Riverfront Stadium is like 6 ft. Separation and and he was like he was like in an alley and he heard a ball was hit. He heard the yelling. Had no idea what was going on. He couldn't see He was like in the vice and and the ball came over the first wall, hit the second wall, then bounce back to hit the wall that 3 74 Mark and the ball landed at his feet and he picked it up. S. O'Brien comes looking down at Officer Clarence Williams with the baseball She probably gave back to Henry own car. I see did yeah, a certain famous Plum house man. Send someone out the left center field to see if they could find the ball and the cop in uniform is holding the ball. And said, Would you give that back to you so sure. I'm on duty out. You can have it and the ball is now on now in Cooperstown. Did. Officer Williams get anything exchange? Did they give him a base? Yes, they did. Thank you. Henry. Aaron signed some things and gave it to the police officer. And the rest, shall we say is history. Nice. You know, I have a brother named Mark is actually my stepbrother. So we had different parents given Grandparent's his grandfather gave him an autographed baseball signed by Henry Aaron. Which he had displayed. We shared a bedroom, his kids, so he had it displayed in our bedroom. And then one day we were out playing catcher playing baseball in the neighborhood and we lost the ball. No. My brother ran upstairs into our bedroom. He grabbed the autographed Henry Aaron baseball, and that's what we played with and you know, naturally ruined it. Well, what it would have been a very valuable piece of memorabilia. We stupidly you know, played catch and baseball with in the backyard, destroying it. You may recall 2 to 3 years ago, baseball designated the four living greatest baseball players of all time and an All Star game. They were Henry Aaron, Willie Mays, Johnny Bench and Sandy Koufax Co fax at a baseball scholarship to you See Johnny Bench played here is 17 year career. And Henry Aaron had all these marks and milestones in Cincinnati. The only one that wouldn't connected us was really amazed. So the four greatest that ever lived. Three of the four have great connections to Cincinnati, and one might say, Pete Rose would have been on that list somewhere. But of course, he's been more less banished from baseball and that Zorro NPI roast, so no matter what happens down hard There's a Cincinnati connection, everything. Everything in the world ultimately gets tied to the Queen City. I know last night. You ready for the big question? I am. The Mount Rushmore of you See Bear cat basketball. All men off. Say all men.

"We'll break down the game and get you preface Sunday's NFC Championship game. Its target Sampa right here on news radio WTMJ. I'm excited about that all this morning. We've been talking about the incredible career and legacy of Henry, Hank Aaron. Obviously, Braves brewers Just all around gentlemen, and a great human being. Joining us now is Brewer's TV announcer Brian Anderson. Good morning, Brian. Hey, Good morning, A sad day, A sad week for Wisconsin sports fans, But I wanted to just I've been talking to your beat writer. Time. Hard, hard record and others about the legacy of Henry Aaron. What is Henry Aaron? Meaning in your life and the things that you do when it comes to sports? How does he play into that? Well, I mean, it was. He's an icon for one. It's um you know, Milwaukee obviously had a beautiful window of his career that they were able to Claim him as one of their own. And you know, the 57 World Series Championship team back to back world Syriza. Um, for me. He's The I would say the number three most important player in baseball history. I think Jackie Robinson's first I think Babe Ruth the second and then I think Henry Aaron. His third, So he's an icon on the sport. Um what he went through, You know, I was very fortunate Tonto. Meet him and spend some time with him and Get to know him. I think when I was a kid, I must have written a book report on him about every year. That's right. Hank Aaron. Jackie Robinson on Gale Sayers were my those are my go to book reports, you know, from From first grade up till seventh or eighth grade. So Yeah, I mean, you did. Baseball stuff speaks for itself. The longevity the career, Um It'll never be matched. You know, I still believe he's the authentic home run king, but You know what he endured? You can't tell Hank Aaron story without I'm talking about his place in history, especially in the civil rights movement and post civil rights movement when he was dealing with the same kind of threats and was having to perform in his job under the same kind of pressure that MLK have to deal with and he's trying to play a baseball game and you really can't Talk about Hank Aaron and his grace and the man that he is without recognizing what he endured and what, what he went through. Just even be able to perform the game, which is hard enough, but to do it with all of that stresses he was pursuing. Babe Ruth's record, So it's a huge loss and just Great man. Just a few weeks ago, he you know he publicly received the vaccine because he wanted that's right. Others to know that it's it's safe and he wants. He always had that in his mind. Like I'm going to be an example. I'm gonna be an example by my actions and almost up to his dying day. He was like that. You know, one of the things I love the word opportunity, And I think Henry Hank Aaron used opportunity to do and say things about what he experienced as part of his legacy, and that that will live forever. But I also was talking early with a guest and I used the term recency bias and we're all guilty of it in sports. The current players are better or whatever versus the older players, and when someone passes away, it's a chance. I think for networks and stations to tell the story of Henry Aaron, not just the sports stuff, which is amazing. On its own merit. But the stories that you were just referring to dealing with racism, incredibly sad stories that let's be honest, weren't that long ago. Mm. No and one of the images that comes to mind and I never had the courage to ask you about it. I wasn't sure if it was ever appropriate. When you know the occasions I had to be with him, but One of the images that always struck me and still to this day. I think about a lot was the scene as he's rounding second base after he hit 7 15. Um, While he's playing for Atlanta, 1974. He's rounding second base, and then these two white guys come running on the field, and I think we look at that video and like, Oh, you know they weren't that great. But at that moment Imagine what had to be going through his mind. Imagine what his mother who was in the stands and his father. When they see him hit the home run. He's rounding the bases, and here come these two guys, young guys, why guys running across the field? Because the context of that is leading up to that member. There was an entire off season. Um, that he was one away, so he finished the year he didn't get to the record. He had to go through an entire off season. 73 to 74 then tied the mark on the road and Cincinnati. And then broke it shortly thereafter in Atlanta, But remember like who had entire off season and he shared this later on, shared a number of the letters and used to talk about this with his former teammates. And you know, Bob, you cur. Tells the story. Well about You know the death threats he got and just the anxiety every day of thinking that People were actually going to be pulling this off. He didn't have a security detail. They didn't call in the National Guard for Hank Aaron. He's just living his life sitting on the cusp of this record. For an entire off season. And getting all of these threats, and then it's just building and building and then he finally does it and he's rounding second base and these two guys come running on the field. Now, these guys they just wanted to love on him like they just wanted. Be a part of it. They have no ill will intended, but he certainly wouldn't have known that. And his parents certainly would have known that I think about that image of them and everybody else all the security who were there and you know our late friend Craig Sager was actually reporter.

"Yeah, Here's the pitch by downing swinging. There's a drive in the left center field. That ball is gonna pay outta here. It's gone. Home run champion of all time on it's Henry Aaron. Works. They're going. Henry Aaron is coming around third, his teammates right home plate and listen to this crowd. One of the greatest moments in the history of the game. Hank Aaron passing Babe Ruth as the all time home run King. And then, of course, Aaron would go on to break the all time record for home runs. But if that's all you think about when you think about Hank Aaron, you are missing out there was so much more to Aaron than that. He's the all time leader and runs batted in the all time leader in extra base hits the all time leader in total bases. He's fourth and run, scored third and hits Nothing about that. The man who was known for home runs is third all time and hits Pirro's Ty Cobb and then Hank Aaron. 20 time. All Star. Three time Gold Glove winner, A two time batting champ off first ballot Hall Famer. I mean, similar to Wayne Gretzky and that it's easy to forget just how good he was at everything. Is Ernie Johnson said quote. There's always been a great comparison between William Mays and Hank Aaron. I think a Los Angeles writer said it best when we were playing out there and the guy wrote quote Hank Aaron does everything that Willie Mays does. But his cap doesn't fall off. End quote. Now, if Hank if all he did was rack up crazy stats. That would be an amazing impact. But he was also again so much more than that. He came into the league seven years after Jackie Robinson. And when the Braves moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta before the 1966 season, he transformed the entire city. As the iconic Andrew Young told Terence Moore quote. His coming here opened up the town significantly. That actually was then Mayor Ivan Allen's plan that Big League sports would bring a big league attitude to the city of Atlanta and was right about that time that we started the campaign of the city too busy to hate. So I've always said that Hank Aaron made a contribution to the successful desegregation of Atlanta. He did so very quietly and very effectively and quote. Again. Think about that for a minute. Everything that he did on the field was amazing, but his impact in desegregating Atlanta was so much bigger. And that doesn't mean that it came easily right it sure as hell did not come easily. He received countless graphic specific and vile death threats over the course of his career, and especially as he approached Babe Ruth's record. According to Terrence Moore, he kept the worst of the worst in his addict. Dusty Baker's friend told Mork quote. Since I was so close to Hank, I had to look a lot of that stuff. It was terrible, but he was still carrying himself with honor and dignity. He treated white kids and Latin kids as well as he did the black kids. He treated everybody good, regardless and quote. Like there are no words that could do justice today. Hate that he received And the way that he dealt with it, just like there are no words that can really sum up. What he meant to the game is a player into this entire country is a person you're going to hear quite a bit about Hank Aaron over the next few days. And I'm going to bet that even the biggest Hank Aaron, fans are going to learn something new. Maybe something about his career. Maybe it's something about his life. Maybe it's something about his impact on civil rights and the fight for equality. I guarantee I guarantee in the ensuing days, you will learn something about him that you did not already know. Because that's just how big he woz how great he was and how many different areas of American life that he impacted. The fact of the matter is there's no way I could personally Foy do justice to him in this space. I would say this. If you haven't already I would suggest you read Howard Brian's book, The Last Hero, A Life of Henry Aaron do that. And then you learn so much more about Aaron, the man and his role in baseball, his role in society and how he felt about that, because it wasn't simple and it definitely was not always comfortable. Aaron was one of the greatest baseball players to ever walk the Earth but is, he told The Atlanta Journal Constitution back in those six quote, I would just want to be remembered. Somebody who tried to be fair with people. It certainly was that And so much more. So I had to start a Friday with a really sad don't like that. Lot. Hank Aaron has passed 1 806 368686. You're more than welcome to share your thoughts as well. Those are mine. In addition to that It's a big big sports weekend NFC Championship Game A F C championship game, Connor McGregor making his triumphant return of the cage. The big head James Kelly, making his triumphant return to the jungle like he does every single Friday. Has been taking some now. I think he's gonna get right. This is his get right weekend. Also in the NFL. I want to talk about Dan Campbell. So yesterday we got into it pretty flee and was only based on one sound bite that I'd seen now that I've seen the entire presser. I'm not going to say that my opinions changed dramatically. But to a certain extent, I'm still not exactly sure what I was watching with this guy yesterday. You know the next Vince Lombardi or the next Hannibal Lecter? That was a weird presser. Weird is normally good. That was just weird. Might be good. Scott might be a great coach, and then again, he might not be. I know this. That pressure will stick to him No matter what. Then you've got the case of Eric. Be enemy. Like the enemy. That's another job that he missed out on. He missed out on the Philadelphia Eagles job Now we went to the Texans deal. The enemy was actually talking about it openly yesterday, and then somebody else came to his defense. Alex Smith. Also an update on Gronk. Tom Brady hasn't used Gronk is much I thought that he might. But then again, Brady's got so many different weapons..

So he tells this story back in the early 19 fifties, and then he was playing for the Indianapolis clowns of the Negro League. And they were having an office, a rain delay or whatever it might be. He was in a restaurant behind the stadium there in Indy. And they were having breakfast as a teen. And as they waited for the rain to stop, so they go to the ballpark and get ready for the game that afternoon, they heard. Plates breaking in a kitchen. And he said that was the worst sound I've ever heard in my life. I still even those later years can can remember in my mind that sound of breaking glass and even when he heard things break throughout his life to make him cringe because what they were doing then in the early 19 fifties in that restaurant Is that in and I think they're in D. C at the time As a matter of fact, so here they are in Washington. Land of the free home of the brave. And they were destroying the plates. They were actually breaking the plates. That had touched the forks. The forks that had been in the mouths of black men. He said that if dogs have eaten off those plates over Washington used them, but because they were black, they actually physically destroyed the plates. That Henry Aaron and his teammates eight on on that day. Has someone who wasn't alive back then. In being relatively older now. Can't even fathom that I can't even Can't even get my mind around that thinking. So, Yeah, We've got a lot of stuff. A lot of things We have to do it make things fair. There's no doubt about it. There's issues of accountability as well. There's a lot of factors in this whole thing. Not making excuses. But going, you know, for those who believe, man. Things haven't gotten better. Well, I mean, Just think about that. I, You know, it's so foreign and so disgusting to me personally. But I can't even comprehend that that would have ever happened, right? You know, we talk about people who are deniers of history, for example. Deny that the Holocaust or 9, 11 are all these things that ever happened. You wonder why? Because it's um It's just so shocking and just so wait. What? No. Come on, man. It was in a movie. Now that that actually really happened. Hank Aaron, the Hall of Famer dead at the age of 86 today known and one of those rare people who are known much more more what they did, I think in their impact after playing baseball than they did on the field for Ah, Long career of 21 years anchor and dead today at the age of 86. Get a time out in and speaking of the issue of race. Well, here, here we go again because they're individuals who are going to make something racial that shouldn't be And we'll get to that. The difference between black and green just ahead. 700 wlw Friday morning,.

Talkin' Baseball with Marty Lurie
Giants need win, help to reach playoffs after loss to Padres
"There were 7 18 7 wins 18 losses against teams that were over 500. If you look at all the playoff teams there, eight wins 20 losses. How far can these Giants go? If they do get into the playoffs? And what are your thoughts against his three game Dodgers series? The first round if and when they get to l. A on Wednesday? Well, I don't know if anybody would pick the Giants to win that. I don't think it's it just it's just not not a reasonable way to think. I mean, the Dodgers were the best team in baseball there 25 games over 500 there one through nine with power hitters. They've got Kirsch on and bueller lined up. They got a bunch of right handed pitchers, you know, adjust in May and Johnson against the Giants, right handers. Stacks up really kind of comically. One sided, however, Marty, it's baseball, right? I mean, what's the point of serious when the first one, but if they be Kershaw behind behind God's man, I mean, you know, that's that's the great thing. They go in your record book? Look up. 1951 look of 1962. Yeah, and this is a you're going to write it. I hope it's Giants Dodgers. You'll write a great story that you will write an amazing story. About about how these teams have played before and how the Giants were written off before to the very last pitch, and they ended up winning and winning penance by doing it. So my feeling is Bruce. You got a lot of lefties. The Dodgers a lefty oriented. We've seen what Kershaw was done before. It's a baseball game. That's all it is. Anything can happen. Yeah, three runs in the first inning off. Kershaw is like, whoa, what's going on here? And all of a sudden, people say, Gee, we didn't see that coming. Yeah, and it's very I wouldn't say it's unique to baseball. But you know if you get an NFL Matchup kind of the best in the worst. He had a pretty good idea how it's going to come out or an MBA. The Lakers are playing a team that's you know, they can't win a game to save their life. If you had a fair idea, but the baseball and we've seen it so many times. You can just knock you on your own your song on your seat her off your seat. What's What is it? Something like that happens. It's the shock. That's it. Come on the Mets and the Orioles 1969. How about that? Yeah, the miracle Mets. They weren't supposed to get there. They weren't supposed to beat the Braves, then Henry Aaron, and they did. And then next next thing, you know, they win the whole thing. And you know Cleon Jones and Tommy and me and Tom Seaver and all of a sudden the team that have been so unbelievably bad. It's like, Wow, these guys are really good, and it turned out they They were very good for the for the next several years, But that was that was a miraculously kind of thing that you know it goes back to the miracle Braves, you know, back in 1919 14. That's correct, George Stone, the miracle Braves. Yeah. So The history of baseball. It's filled with great stuff like this and completely improbable development. So we will watch with great anticipation.
