Matt Tavares hits one out of the park with this powerful tale of a kid from the segregated South who would become baseball''s home-run king.
Before he was Hammerin'' Hank, Henry Aaron was a young boy growing up in Mobile, Alabama, with what seemed like a foolhardy dream: to be a big-league baseball player. He didn''t have a bat. He didn''t have a ball. And there wasn''t a single black ball player in the major leagues. But none of this could stop Henry Aaron. In a captivating biography of Henry Aaron''s young life — from his sandlot days through his time in the Negro Leagues to the day he played his first spring training game for the Braves — Matt Tavares offers an inspiring homage to one of baseball''s all-time greats.
Back matter includes an author’s note, Henry Aaron’s career statistics, and a bibliography.
