OG,
Why did you like Hank Aaron?
As you have said, because he was the best HR hitter of his generation and your home town team.
No different than why many like Tiger Woods.
I like hammering Hank because he was way above the average player but didn't warm up at the other end of the baseball field.. Hank would let anyone in his circle and was always cordial to his fans. I respected him back in the 60's and still do today.. I always admired the way he operated on and off the field. Good all around human being.
