ATLANTA (AP) -Happy birthday, Hammer!
Hank Aaron’s family and friends are throwing him a 75th birthday party Thursday night at a downtown Atlanta hotel. Among those scheduled to attend are former President Bill Clinton, baseball commissioner Bud Selig and Hall of Famer Dave Winfield.
Aaron hit 755 homers during a career spent mostly with the Braves, a record that stood until Barry Bonds broke the mark in 2007.
Of course, Bonds’ accomplishments have come under scrutiny because of allegations he knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs. He’s awaiting trial on charges he lied to a grand jury when he testified that he never used performance-enhancing drugs.
