RIP Hank Aaron

I was only nuts about baseball for several years as a kid but I’ve always known about Hank Aaron, the guy who beat Babe Ruth’s longstanding home run record. I don’t care if Barry Bonds allegedly holds it, there’s a big fat asterisk next to Bonds’ achievement.

It was pretty cool to see (or hear) Hank play himself as a head in a jar and his distant descendent on Futurama. The latter was in the Hall of Fame as the worst player ever, until Leela took it for her horrendous pitching.

Thanks for setting a pretty impressive record. Maybe one day it will be beat without the aid of steroids.
