Sorry to hear DD.
I just lost a cousin of my dad's this week. My dad's side of the family always had big summer get togethers as a kid. I'd always have fun playing with my other cousins, but often times I didn't always make the connection of what kids went with what parents. Looking back now, it was kind of odd that I compartmentalized it into "these are the kids, these are the adults, there's no connection between them".
Anyways, I felt a little bad as I was FB friends with his kids, and I recently removed all of them from my friends list. Super Trumpers, big anti maskers, anti closing, anti everything really except Trump. After the 6th, my wall was just full of stuff from them about it being all Antifa and BLM. Rather than argue, I just purged them. Any guess as to what he died from? Yup... COVID. Apparently he went really fast. Luckily his wife and all the kids are fine (they had milder cases).

Sorry to hear that DD. I was telling my kids to enjoy every minute with their grandparents, even though they roll their eyes when we visit (pre-COVID) and Facetime. My "good" grandparents had both passed away by the time I was 11, and don't really have a lot of memories with them.

WSB story said he got the covid vaccine on Jan 5. That was a strong downhill slide. So many amazing stats that he holds. One that was fascinating to me is that if you took away his HRs, he’d still have 3000 hits. He just wasn’t about the long ball. A lot of today’s players could take lessons from that.This year has been awful for MLB
Someone hide Willie Mays.

with all the other HoFer deaths, Aaron stands out the most. He's THE best player to ever play right field?
sucks man
also sorry DD about your grandma
edit: hm apparently Ruth played in right field more than any other position (I always thought he played left field) so it'd be damn close between Ruth and Aaron.

Aaron had 2,134 starts in RF vs. 843 starts elsewhere. Ruth had 1,118 in RF and 1,040 in LF. Aaron is fourth all time in games played in RF behind Clemente, Waner, and Hooper. I'd say that gives Aaron more weight for positional dominance over Ruth.with all the other HoFer deaths, Aaron stands out the most. He's THE best player to ever play right field?

as a lifelong Braves fan and child of the 70s, Hank Aaron will ALWAYS be the Home Run King. Barry Bonds is nothing but a cheater.
