jeffrey: hank aaron died today at 86 years old. howard bryant, sportswriter and author of "the last hero: a life of henry aaron." thanks for joining us again. let's start with the player, first. we always talk about the home runs but he was one of the all-time greats in every way, right? howard: no question. let me just give you one example of how good henry aaron was as a player. when he came into the big leagues in 1954, his goal, his mission as a young player was to break stan musial's all-time national league hits record of 3,630. by the time his career moved forward, he began realizing that the braves needed more offense so he decided to hit more home runs so one day i said to him, were you so good that you were able to choose which all-time record you wanted to break? and he sort of laughed about it but it really is true that he had so much ability as a hitter that he started his career trying to break one all-time unreachable record and then ended up breaking another one. jeffrey: it is impossible to talk about the achieveme

hank aaron meant so much to the world of baseball.lso certainly meant so much to the fans here in atlanta. take a look behind me. there's been a steady stream of folks here this morning just paying respects to aaron at the site where he hit that historic 715th home run, breaking babe ruth's record. you know, aaron was known as someone who was just humble, a humble man who came from humble beginnings. he was born into poverty february 5th, in segregated mobile, alabama and his humble beginnings would transform to superstardom and the then milwaukee braves called him up to the major leagues 1953 at age 19. he was among the first wave of african-americans to break the color barrier in major league baseball, racking up a number of records along the way. the defining moments of aaron's career came after the braves moved to atlanta in 1974. he hit his 715th home run at fulton county stadium, breaking babe ruth's all-time record for the most career home runs. that beautiful moment would soon turn ugly as aaron received thousands of racist an

a national hero, hank aaron, died this week. baseball player broke barriers, especially defined racist critics in the 1970. will we continue to see movements that spur racial reckoning through sports in your opinion? >> that's a great point. i think we will. i mean, the golden era of muhammad ali, jim brown, althea gibson, and think of hank aaron, who broke the record of babe ruth and we might add, reverend sharpton, just this year, not long ago, the major league baseball decided to accept the records and fuse them from the negro leagues and the major leagues. that's going to challenge a lot of records and put on a different setting of those system players. like mr. aaron who hit 30 more home runs per year more than any other figure in the game and an extraordinarily conscientious and awoke activist, there's no doubt that has transferred over to a lebron james, a candice parker, the nba players, the nfl players, the wnba players and we've moved from merely having outrage against social just in hank aaron's day, then to social se

hank aaron.is legacy, maybe evenm5 home runs, and 240 stolen bases over a 23-year career in the major-league's. aaron was known for having grace and decency, when the country didn't extend the same to him or people who looked like him. in 1974, when he surpassed babe ruth's record of 714 home runs, he set a guinness book of world records for the most mail received by a private citizen. nearly 3000 letters a day, almost a million that year. much of it was hate mail which he kept to remind him, "there's not a whole lot that has changed." and "how far we have to go." aaron was elected to the baseball hall of fame in 1982. this year, no one will get that honor. after the baseball writers' association of america decided no player had the merits on the field or off. curt schilling, barry bonds, and roger clemens were the closest in the vote count. this is the ninth appearance on the ballot for all three. when aaron was elected, he his first try. announcer: when we come back, a new view of the sistine c
