    When I was a kid growing up in SW Pennsyltucky. I had one of those little kit built crystal radios that you hooked an alligator clamp to a light switch screw and it had a little earpiece and I would hide under the covers listening to the
    Pirates games on KDKA am (when I was supposed to be asleep) and rooting for Roberto Clemente to park one in the seats.
    Hammerin' Hank was the GOAT.
    By the way do they still make those little radio kits?
     
    I was at the game when he broke the record. I was just a toddler, but my parents wanted me to be there. Met him briefly back in the late 90’s. Warm and friendly as he could be. A true class act.

    Hank is Legend.

    Looked up the all-time homerun list today and was disappointed to see Bonds is above Hank and A Rod is still on the list; both confirmed PED cheaters. Sucks, Hank deserves better.
