Buyer Beware: Atlanta Braves Attempting to Halt Hank Aaron Memorabilia Auction

FanSided

In the pantheon of all-time great Atlanta Braves players (and baseball players in general really), Hank Aaron stands out at the top. Beloved by fans everywhere, Aaron's 23 year Hall of Fame career is filled with insane seasons and a consistently high level of production that isn't likely to be equaled anytime soon. When Aaron passed away in 2021, the game of baseball was collectively heartbroken and he is sorely missed even now.

Aaron Judge and Juan Soto may be one of the best pairs of teammates that the game of baseball has seen in its entire history, and no, that's not an exaggeration. Soto is one of the best hitters of the 21st century. He's consistently reached base at over a 40 percent clip for his entire career and he's on pace to club somewhere in the 600-career home run range if he can stay healthy and active.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
