That team has produced many Hall Of Famers.
But, nobody represents that team like Henry.
Matthews, Spahn, Jones, Murphy, Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, et al...
But, none compare to Aaron.
Fun Aaron stat, Mac:
He's so far ahead of the next guy down the Total Bases list (Musial) that it represents 12 miles of basepath! Twelve miles!!!
