Hank Aaron who surpassed Babe Ruth in homeruns has gone on.
Early pioneer of sports integration, home run king, who inspired fans for 30 years, Hank Aaron has gone on at the age of 86.
Hank Aaron has gone on, at the age of 86. He surpassed Babe Ruth in homeruns, hitting 755 in his career. He, like Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby, and other pioneers in integration of major league baseball, transcended racist taunts with almost superhuman control. For a while he was with a team in the South and batted .362 for the year despite the insults from the crowd and fellow players. He was a vegetarian, he said, before most people knew what a vegetarian was. Other famous athletes who are or were vegetarian include Roger Bannister and John Landy, the first 2 men recorded in breaking the 4 minute mile barrier. Countless others such as Serena Williams are listed at https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2015/02/07/18768176.php

These 5 planets and n node were in aquarius, the sign of protection of the underdog, the poor, the rejected, the eccentric. Aquarians are independent and have a confidence which gives them the courage to go their own way against the crowd. They are pioneers of social change, the Robin Hoods of the zodiac who oppose the tyranny of kings and dictators, as they return stolen assets to the poor.
the 5th, 1 degree over the line, was mars in pisces, giving him a hatred of cruelty. The south node in leo is an indication of a strong leadership role in a previous life.
