	Hank Aaron
		Aaron won three consecutive Gold Gloves and a Most Valuable Player Award in 1957, and at one time held all-time marks for most games and at-bats.
		As great a player as Aaron was, he greatly diminished his stature as a statesman of the game by complaining about the racism of the fans as he pursued Babe Ruth's record - for all that Aaron withstood, after all, at least he didn't come from an orphanage like Ruth did.
		Aaron was a symbol of baseball's ability to make heroes out of people of any race or class, but he was also a reminder that even heroes can be whiners.
