ATLANTA – The U.S. Postal Service announced today that it will honor baseball legend Henry “Hank” Aaron with a commemorative Forever Postage Stamp.
This stamp celebrates the life and career of Aaron (1934-2021), a great player both on and off the field who rewrote the record books by rising from humble beginnings in the face of racism.
The stamp art features a digital painting of Aaron as a member of the Atlanta Braves, showing his famous right-handed batting stance from the waist up. The salvage features a digital painting of Aaron hitting the ball for his record-breaking 715th home run on April 8, 1974.
USPS Art Director Greg Breeding designed the stamp and plaque with original art by Chuck Stiles.
The Hank Aaron stamp will be issued in pans of 20. As a Forever Stamp, its value will always be equal to the current First Class Mail 1‑ounce value.
The official first day of issue and the stamp dedication ceremony location will be announced later.
The news of the stamp is being shared with the hashtag #HankAaronStamp,
