Hank Aaron played in 25 All-Star Game

Aaron played in 25 seasons of the American League (AL) of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game between 1955 and 1975, a period of two decades. The MLB All-Star Game, sometimes known as the "Midsummer Classic," is an annual contest between the All-Stars from the American League and National League. Aaron presently holds the record for participating in the most All-Star games in terms of seasons, living up to his nickname of "Hammerin' Hank." Along with Willie Mays and Stan Musial, he is one of the All-Star players with the most All-Star Games played.

Aaron became the first player in baseball history with 3,000 hits and 500 home runs on May 17, 1970, thanks to an infield single. After recording his 3,000th hit, Aaron commented, "This is a tremendous feeling. You have to remember so many great ball players to play this game - and I'm speaking of folks like Ruth, (Ted) Williams, to name a few - and haven't accomplished this achievement".
