Hank Aaron is an Eagle Scout and recipient of the Silver Buffalo Award, the highest adult award given by the Boy Scouts of America. Despite hitting more career home runs than any other player, Hank Aaron's single-season high was 47. This figure puts him in a tie for the 64th-best season mark by a hitter. His second-best total, 45, is only tied for 100th-best. However, the compensating fact is his career was remarkably stable with no major absences or interruptions such as medical leaves. This enabled him to make his records with a steady accumulation of points that more fla ...
