Legendary MLB icon Hank Aaron turned 80 yesterday, and he'll be continuing the celebration this weekend at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.

Aaron will be speaking at the museum when this incredible portrait, painted by Ross Rossin, is added to the National Portrait Gallery.

UPDATE: The painting has been installed at the National Gallery and it looks amazing. Check it out.
