The Home Run King
This man is STILL baseball's Home Run King:
"Hank Aaron overcame poverty and racism to become one of the most accomplished baseball players of all time. 'When I was in a ballpark,' he said, 'I felt like I was surrounded by angels, and I had God's hand on my shoulder.' By steadily pursuing his calling in the face of unreasoning hatred, Hank Aaron has proven himself a great human being, as well as a great athlete." [If you're a baseball fan, you know why I highlighted the words "great human being."]
-- President George W. Bush
