While the All-Star Game may have been moved out of Atlanta, it did not stop the sport from honoring the late, great Hank Aaron.
Prior to the start of Tuesday’s game at Coors Field, the league honored the former home run king, who passed away in January at the age of 86, with a special tribute on the video board in the outfield.
But what made the tribute even more special was the fact that Aaron’s widow, Billye, was brought out onto the field alongside Freddie Freeman and Aaron Judge and was given a standing ovation by the fans.
The tribute to Aaron was clearly touching as many fans on social media shared their feelings after watching the video.
