Baseball-Former MLB home run king Hank Aaron dead at 86

Baseball Hall of Famer Henry "Hank" Aaron, who once held Major League Baseball's record for most career homes runs, has died, according to multiple media reports. He was 86.

Aaron, who earned a permanent place in baseball lore when he surpassed Babe Ruth on the all-time home runs list, died on Friday, according to a WSB-TV Atlanta 2 report that sourced his daughter.

Aaron retired in 1976 with 755 home runs, a record that stood until Barry Bonds broke it in 2007.
