Recalling Hank Aaron's Affinity for Cleveland Browns

The sports world today is mourning the death of Henry “Hank” Aaron, one of baseball’s all-time greats and the man many consider the true home run king.

Aaron, who died Friday morning at age 86, also was a big fan of the game of football, with a longtime rooting interest in the Cleveland Browns.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame joins in extending its thoughts and prayers to the Aaron family and the Major League Baseball family.
