The Braves opened Truist Park over the weekend for fans to stop by and pay tribute to their Home Run King. A statue of Hank Aaron sits in the park’s Monument Garden complete with a 755 background made of baseball bats to represent all of his career home runs.

A steady stream of mourners trickled in to place flowers on a statue of the baseball legend and take pictures. Fans also stopped by the old Turner Field and Fulton County Stadium site where Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s home run record with No. 715.
