I just finished this great new book about baseball immortal Henry Aaron. He's always been one of my all time favorites and it was interesting to find out more about his upbringing and all the stuff that he went through when he broke Babe Ruth's home run record in 1974. I was fortunate to actually see Aaron play during his last season with the Milwaukee Brewers in 1976. I was six years old and remember my dad telling me he was the home run king and one of the greatest players of all time. I couldn't find the program from Royals Stadium that day but I still have my Hank Aaron baseball card from that last season.
If you have any interest in the Golden Age of baseball and one of the true greats of the game, check out this book. You won't be disappointed.
