RIP to a true legend and gentleman. Truly consistent performer, 755 homers while never having more than 47 in a season, and accomplished all of this way before the steroid era. Poor guy even got death threats when he was about to break Babe Ruth’s record

Oh Henry.... what a truly remarkable athelete he was. And what an incredible story regarding his life and the challenges he confronted.

Certainly in the top 10 of greatest baseball players ever. Very well could be considered the greatest.

I agree, people forget many other stats he is still at or near the top. I know from playing the game from 5-17  it takes lots of skill to hit a baseball, steroids or not. 

The guys with borderline HOF credentials who used drugs, I agree they should be kept out and receive very few votes. But love them or hate them, ARod and Barry belong there 100% IMO, they were that good. And Pete Rose as well, forget about the stuff off the field

Great photo. 
the bloke was a true inspiration and I doubt we’ll ever see any single individual raise so much money in such a short period of time as Sir Tom did. RIP
