Not only did he break Babe Ruth's HR record, but he made the All-Star Game 21 straight years, from 1955 to 1976.

He is the reason I am a Brave's fan. My first MLB game was in Atlanta. It was as game between the Braves and Cubs. Hank Aaron hit his 690th homerun that game. 06/15/1973

The Atlanta Falcons said that they will retire the number 44 and that no player will wear it this season.
