Hank Aaron Recalls His Record Breaking Night | Letterman

[@lharissafart39]

Humble and a true hero.

[@jeremiahblum7833]

40 year old TV is the greatest new thing on the internet

[@gillroygarlic3616]

Something about the footage quality is very calm and soothing. Plus a lot of talk shows were very low key back then ; not a bunch of colors blasting out at you in 1080p like rn.

[@tracymiller1149]

"I didn't get there quick enough!" LOL.

[@turdfurgeson517]

On the low he was a no show

[@erock2229]

An excellent interview involving two of my favorites. I miss you Hank and hope you're enjoying your birthday today in a better place.

[@FedericoGPena]

Hank and I have the same b-day...

[@spy1965]

Scoop Letterman did a superb job, and who can't like Aaron!

[@turdfurgeson517]

Hank Arron was the man. So humble

[@christhee68]

Hank had what you could call "Confident Modesty."

[@franzschubertv2874]

100%

[@kinsmed]

This is... living again, Dave. Thank you.

[@edwinestrella6237]

This interview make me feel so good cause is obvious he is having a good time , he smile , talk in a free way , his body language tell you how happy he is at that moment , so all the racist comment were gone at that moment , he was a very good example of natural talent and perseverance, rip great man

[@markfroman738]

Real life superhero.

[@JoeLaRocca]

Legends!

Hank seemed like he was a great guy with a great sense of humor. Didn't take himself too seriously! As a player, he was a blue collar guy. He punched in, worked has az off, punched out and did it again the next day for years! That resulted in 755 HR's! No matter what profession, he proved if you just work your az off everyday, you will be respected and maybe even adored for your efforts after you have a body of work! RIP Hank.🙏✝

[@charliepickard7798]

Henry had to be elated when it was finally over, humble guys don't like the media attention. Hank just wanted to get back to playing ball.

[@mattcox3373]

Hank was such a national treasure

[@juliopatinopacheco9050]

Awesome man

[@smitrotti]

Fun interview!

[@jjpenn8925]

Still the homeowner leader as far as I'm concerned.

[@chadchesney3858]

Welllll Pete was a fantastic hitter. One of the best. But Hank was clearly a notch above that. The Hammer might be the best ever. RIP Henry.

[@charliepickard7798]

The great thing about that was, of all the great players who was playing at that time, it was Pete that they wanted to compare with. That says a lot about Pete Rose

[@checkle1]

lol "I don't make as much money as Pete"

[@subg8858]

Whoever said a ballplayer shouldn’t be looked at as a hero forgot about Henry Aaron

[@charliepickard7798]

I played the game it was supposed to be played. Amen Henry

[@mcgurkryans]

That Al Albert bit was really clever

[@javiermanzano7792]

I wonder who the 9 writers were that didn’t vote for Aaron. Also what their justification was for not voting for Aaron

[@franzschubertv2874]

They wanted to vote for someone else so that the other player would not be dropped from future ballots. Everyone knew Aaron would get in. This isn’t a hard thing to understand.

[@JGH-wn3tb]

He never struck out more than a 100 times in a season

[@hyzercreek]

Back when David Letterman was still clever

[@opticscolossalandepicvideo4879]

Awesome guy. It’s sad that David letterman and Hank are no longer with us

[@montrealsports29]

I don't think that Dave would be too happy that you said he's already dead because he's still very much alive.

[@salange17]

@@montrealsports29 I agree - he would be sad. In a way, it's good that he has passed so he doesn't have to be.

[@Shshshshshhshhs]

Uh David letterman having a long beard doesn’t mean he’s dead dude

[@mikewhite4560]

Simply the BEST 👌 Tina Turner 👌

[@paulhoward6165]

Pete Rose will never be in the Hall of Fame

[@022171]

They'll put him in after he dies.

[@migrations]

If you really understand the context of this interview and what was going on (which I don't fully) then this will blow your mind. Hank seems to be cocky and charismatic bus also funny and soft.

[@victorcarter5263]

Other than cases being dismissed in the name of expediency, have any of them ever won a case on the merits with this nonsense
