I'm named after him
Happy birthday!
My dad grew up just outside of Milwaukee in the 40's & 50's. Hank was his favorite player. He was the bravest of the Braves.
I was at a card show 20ish years ago in a suburb of Detroit and Hank was doing autos for $20 each. I got signed photos for all my aunts & uncles and while he was signing I told him that I was named after him. He looked me in the eyes and smiled. A great moment in my life I will always cherish.
Thanks Hank!
