HRES 128 United States House · 118th Congress

Honoring the life and legacy of Henry Louis Aaron.

HRES 128 is a symbolic House resolution honoring baseball legend Hank Aaron's career and legacy. It recognizes his historic 715th home run breaking Babe Ruth's record in 1974, his 23-year MLB career (including 23 seasons with the Braves), and his role as a civil rights symbol who overcame pervasive racism. The resolution formally acknowledges Aaron's achievements on the field - such as 755 career home runs and the 1974 record-breaking moment - as well as his off-field impact in advancing equality. It was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on February 14, 2023, and serves as a ceremonial tribute without creating new laws or affecting any policies.
