Great point about Hank Aaron being layered. He could also field and run. Total bases and average is a good one for his hitting. Also consider that for all his home runs, he didn't strike out that much. He was one of the best clutch hitters of all time (#5 all time for WPA/LI). I only wish that more images of him fielding was on his baseball cards. I wrote about about these points at https://www.57hits.com/hank-aaron-defense-stolen-bases

Excellent write up. I watched him hit that homerun. I miss baseball. I miss how skin color did not matter to me. I miss my naivety.
