This website is helpful. this website provides a little biography and mostly sports statistics and other things. Information from this website:

Hank Aaron hit 755 home runs in his career. Aaron hit number 715 on 8 April 1974, moving him past the record 714 career homers of Babe Ruth. Much like Roger Maris, Aaron was maligned by some fans who thought he was somehow unfit to surpass the mighty Ruth. Aaron retired after the 1976 season, holding the all-time records for home runs (755) and RBIs (2297)and having played in a record 24 All-Star Games. He was elected to baseball's Hall of Fame in 1982. San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds passed Aaron's home run record by hitting his 756th home run on 7 August 2007.

Aaron wore uniform #44 in the major leagues except during his rookie year, when he wore #5.Babe Ruth hit his 714th home run in 1935, the year after Aaron was born. Slugger Sadaharu Oh hit 868 homers during his career (1959-80) in Japan's major leagues, making him the worldwide home run leader.Aaron started his career with the Milwaukee Braves; the team moved to Georgia in 1966, becoming the Atlanta Braves.
