Poem -
Henry
dedicated to Hank Aaron
He had more hits than "Stan The Man"!
"More timing than anything else,"his plan!
The numbers he put up; were the best!
Out shined"The Babe" and all the rest!
He had sheer talent; ability and skill!
His 755 home runs is top of the hill!
To not post his RBI's would be a crime!
My opinion, he's the best hitter of all time!
Two thousand two hundred ninety seven RBI;s!
Pitchers he faced, pulled, and had good cries!
For these leading numbers; only one to thank!
Last name was Aaron, first name being Hank!

Thanks for the read Rob!
Jim he sounds one incredible guy and player too.
And here in Cardiff we have a baseball team in Llanrumney which season kicks off early summer. And point on interest is our baseball bat has a flat face and not rounded like your American bat.
Thanks for writing and sharing your poem and player who is close to your heart. An interesting read and respectful homage.
🏏 a bat and ball like this, Shaun? 🤣🤣
Don't know much about your game across the sea, but I can appreciate talent from anywhere! thanks for the support! I always forget that this site is world wide and us Yanks are not the only game in town! LOL!............Jim
Wow! Seems like he was one hell of a brilliant player. A hero to many, I bet. This is a fabulous tribute to him as it has made me want to google him and find out more... Well written Jim x
Thank you very much! being! like Babe Ruth they named a candy bar after him. Babe Ruth had the" Baby Ruth" candy bar....Hank Aaron had the" Oh Henry" candy bar named after him.
I came back to have a look at this one, mainly because I like talking to you Jim! I really like how you structure your poems by the way, it gives a light but captivating feel. Hope you are well Jim, in your part of the ocean. G'day from Tas! Your friend Max
