Outfielder - Hank Aaron (1966-74)

Aaron was already 32 years old and well on his way to residence in Cooperstown when the Braves moved to Atlanta in 1966. However, he still hit 335 of his 755 career home runs and made nine more NL All-Star teams representing Atlanta. He ranks second to Dale Murphy in Atlanta home runs and RBIs and holds Atlanta records for grand slams (7) and slugging percentage (.567).

On May 17, 1970, Aaron collected his landmark 3,000th career base hit, making him the first man ever to reach that level and hit 500 home runs.

One of the four original members of the Braves Hall of Fame, Aaron continues to serve the organization as senior vice-president and assistant to the president. His uniform No. 44 is retired by the franchise.
