Hank Aaron is still widely revered as one of the game's all-time great hitters, a first-ballot Hall of Famer whose career statistics still rank among history's best. Aaron, who still has a presence in today's game as a senior vice president in the Braves' front office, is best remembered for breaking Babe Ruth's career home run record, and his 755 total ranked first when he retired in 1976. Yet for all his power, Aaron was perhaps just as effective as a contact hitter, as his 3,771 hits (third all time) would attest.

Making A Case Idling Cardinals Should Trade For A Starter

This past offseason as word spread that the Cardinals and Tampa Bay Rays were talking about a trade, sparks flew into the wind that the Cardinals, shopping for a closer and curious about a third baseman, must be interested in saves leader Alex Colome or Evan Longoria. Even Longoria did the math.
