Summary: The story of a boy and his hero, baseball home run champion Hank Aaron, and an exploration of the hatred Aaron endured in chasing a white man's record.
This story is a loving tribute from Sandy Tolan to his boyhood sports hero, Hank Aaron. Tolan roams the country and his memory for this well told story of the legendary ball player.
With Barry Bonds closing in on Aaron's all time hitting record, this would be great to run on, around, shortly after, or shortly before the day the record is broken.
