Gov. Evers Statement on Passing of Hank Aaron
MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today released the following statement regarding the passing of Hank Aaron.
“I’m saddened to hear about the passing of a great athlete, a great man, and one of my own personal heroes. When I was a kid, Hank Aaron actually came to Plymouth to meet and visit with my Cub Scouts group—something I cherished then and even still today. Hammerin’ Hank was a role model to so many both on and off the field, and he’ll be remembered as a legend to the sport and to our state. What a loss.”
