You did it. Not only did you tie the record, but you have done it on your own terms. No amount of discussion can minimize how difficult that must have been for him No disrespect to Hammering Hank. I remember exactly where I was April 8Th 1974. Hank Aaron had the mountains of his generation to climb to pass Babe Ruth. He took on segregation, integration and prejudice to pass Babe Ruth. There is not an accomplishment in sport that can reduce the importance of what Mr Aaron accomplished. He will always be revered.
