"Hammerin Hank" was one special person. Although as a "knot hole gang" little leaguer I grew up in the Phila. area I was a full fledge fan of the Milwaukee Braves. To this day I can recite the players and statistics of the 1957 team players. My knot hole gang status gave me access to the best area for gaining autographs and a chance word or two. Aaron's autograph on the back of a game program was one of the most treasured. It came along with a casual "hi kid". Thank you Mr. Aaron. Each and every day it seems another of my boyhood heros passes. The memories, though live on.... Thank you Mr. Aaron.
Jack! Thank you. I like reading the stories, too. They feel like old friends and remind me of all the great feeling and support I have been blessed with over the last five years. Lucky...and grateful!

I like when you link to one of your old Medium posts and I can add 49 claps. 😁
Plus I enjoy seeing Mara again!
