Hank Aaron

Description

In 1974, Henry (Hank) Aaron was crowned America's home run king, taking the title away from Yankee legend Babe Ruth. As he approached Ruth's record, Aaron endured messages of hate. Many old-time fans couldn't accept that Aaron, an African American, would be the new home run king. During his long baseball career, Aaron broke many records and won many awards, including three Gold Gloves for his skills as an outfielder. This book shows readers how Aaron used dignity and his remarkable abilities on the field to establish his place in society.
