About Hank Aaron

Most notably recognized as the Home Run King, Henry “Hank” Aaron broke the most hallowed record in sports in 1974 on his way to a career 755 home runs. As a player, he had many on-field accolades, but he also had an immense impact off-the-field as a business executive, entrepreneur, and advocate for racial equity and social justice.

To honor Hank Aaron’s legacy, we welcome an aspiring sports business professional as a Henry Aaron Fellow to experience a variety of front office operations, including playing an integral part in the planning of our annual Hank Aaron Week initiatives.
