Ouch! All-Star Game Honors Hank Aaron - who played with the Atlanta Braves - in Denver [View all]

The ASG was moved out of Atlanta to Denver to protest the new voter suppression laws in Georgia. Aaron died in January. Of course, it would have been fitting for Aaron to be honored in Atlanta, but the racists fucked up that.

I hope that pisses off the racists even more.

As a Coloradoan through and through, I love that the ASG is being held at Coor's Field in Denver hlthe2b Jul 2021 #1
