Ben Kercheval from cbssports said that The death of Hall of Fame baseball player Hank Aaron on Friday was a monumental loss to the sports world. Aaron, who was 86, left an immeasurable legacy on and off the diamond as both the one-time home run king and an ambassador for the sport during the civil rights era.
Aaron was, and remains, an especially beloved member of the Atlanta sports scene considering he played almost all of his illustrious career with the Braves organization. So it’s not surprising to see many Atlanta-based teams honoring Aaron. On Saturday, one day after Aaron’s death, Georgia Tech announced it would temporarily retire the No. 44 — Aaron’s number — for the 2021 season. In doing so, the Yellow Jackets join the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United FC. Junior linebacker Quez Jackson wore No. 44 for Georgia Tech football in 2020 and volunteered to give up his number.
