Aaron’s daughter confirmed his death to WSB-TV.
Aaron broke MLB’s all-time home run mark on April 8, 1974 with No, 715 surpassing Yankees legend Babe Ruth. Aaron overcame death threats as he was fighting to break the mark.
Aaron finished with 755 home runs, a mark that was ultimately passed by Barry Bonds under the stain of PED use. Many still consider Aaron the sport’s true home run leader.
Aaron, who was born in Alabama, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1982. His 2,297 RBIs are still the most in the history of the sport.
