	Henry Aaron Introduction, 1974 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Breaking that record is like carving a statue out of a mountain, and Aaron has been chipping away at it over a 20-year span in the big leagues, during most of which he was both underpublicized and underpaid.
		Though stories used to go around that Aaron fell asleep during pitches, in fact, of course, he's a thinking hitter who keeps a mental book on every pitcher in the league, and whenever he's at the plate, he's trying to psych the pitcher into serving up a particular pitch.
		Aaron holds the world pretty much at arm's length; he moves very deliberately, whether he's driving or on foot; and he dominated every situation in which I saw him, as much by his silence as by his words.

	Andrew Olmsted dot com: It's Henry Aaron
		David Pinto reminds us that today is the 30th anniversary of Hank Aaron's 715th home run, the day he broke Babe Ruth's unbreakable record for total home runs.
		Aaron's record of 755* homers has stood for 30 years now, and it's in the news again as Barry Bonds has now come closer than anyone else in the intervening years.
		My own guess is that Barry won't get there, as he still needs 97 longballs to break the record, and that's a lot for anyone, let alone a guy who will be on the wrong side of forty before the end of this season.
