Hank Aaron, Integration Pioneer, Home Run King, With An Almost Superhuman Control, Has Left For God

Early pioneer of sports integration, sports hero, who inspired fans for 30 years, Hank Aaron has left his body behind at the age of 86, 17 days after, reported Wikipedia, he publicly received a covid vaccination on January 5th.
Aaron hit 755 homeruns in his career. He, like Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby, and other pioneers in integration of major league baseball, transcended racist taunts with almost superhuman control. For a while he was with a team in the South and batted .362 for the year despite the insults from the crowd and fellow players. How many could withstand such jeers and slurs while establishing new batting average and homerun records, focusing on the ball, tuning out the fear of bottles and other missiles tossed at him from the stands. Most of the early racist hate shouts had subsided by the time in 1957 he batted .393 in the 7th game of the World Series which his team the Atlanta Braves won against the Yankees. But in 1974 when he was poised to beat Babe Ruth's home run record he received death threats. "He holds the MLB records for the most career runs batted in (RBIs) (2,297), extra base hits (1,477), and total bases (6,856). Aaron is also in the top five for career hits (3,771) and runs (2,174). He is one of only four players to have at least 17 seasons with 150 or more hits. Aaron is in second place in home runs (755)." (Wikipedia.org)

He was a vegetarian, he said, before most people knew what a vegetarian was. He was a devout Christian and kept Thomas a Kempis' book The Imitation of Christ in his locker. He would later become a Catholic.

Most students of astrology who examined Hank Aaron's natal chart would assume he was an old soul who had passed many tests in previous incarnations. He had an extraordinary 5 planets and the n node within 16 degrees of the 360 degree zodiac wheel. This concentration or cluster is not achieved in the first few human births. Four of these 5 planets and n node were in aquarius, the sign of protection of the underdog, the poor, the rejected, the eccentric. Aquarians are independent and have a confidence which gives them the courage to go their own way against the crowd. They are pioneers of social change, the Robin Hoods of the zodiac who oppose the tyranny of kings and dictators, as they return stolen assets to the poor.
In addition
the 5th planet, 1 degree over the line, was mars in pisces, giving him a hatred of cruelty and with his scorpio moon and pluto in cancer, a water trime of empathic healing of others. The south node in leo is an indication of a strong leadership role in a previous life. The ascendant and neptune in virgo would make him more pure than average in dietary and other ways.
It is interesting that he chose to move on in late January of 2021 when 4 planets, the sun, mercury, jupiter and saturn are in aquarius.

A truly inspiring tribute to

A truly inspiring tribute to an evolved soul who walked the walk and overcame hate with a steadfast focus on truth. I was particularly intrigued by your meticulous description of his natal chart, further confirming his status as a lightworker from higher plane of being.

Thank you for taking the time to compile a list of athletes with plant-based diets. I was amazed to see so many famous names. Such an encouragement.

Keep writing and shining!

I remember seeing an old tape

I remember seeing an old tape featuring a HR derby between Aaron and Sadahara Oh - the two greatest home run hitters in the world at the time they competed. I believe Aaron won by one, 9 to 8. Though I was too young to see Aaron play (outside of old footage), he was a favorite of mine growing up. My dad was a Ruth guy, and we'd debate who was better. Baseball was something in our family, for sure. I can't really watch it anymore, it's way too corrupted, but if I could sit with my dad again, I'm sure I'd make an exception. Unfortunately we have been banned from seeing my dad since March, who resides in a care facility, thanks to the current rules of the land.

Thanks for sharing. I had no idea he was a vegetarian, and I know little about astrology - an interesting read.

. I don't know if you saw the reference to The Imitation of Christ, the book he kept in his locker.

What a beautiful story you told. People in assisted living places should have the same rights as others... to go out, and to receive visitors who wear masks. God bless your father and you.

I did, yes. My dad took us to church, growing up, and we'd noticed the religious symbolism Aaron kept around himself.

Thank you, regarding my dad. I find the situation cruel, but I am grateful for your kind sympathies. Much gratitude, both for inspiring memories in me and for your kindness towards my related share.
