Hammerin' Hank
When Henry "Hank" Aaron was a young boy growing up in
Mobile, Alabama, In the early 1940s, he spent his summers
playing baseball in a sandlot, or vacant lot. He was very athletic
and excelled at running, fielding, and hitting. Who knew that 10
years later he would be playing with a Major League Baseball
team, Milwaukee Braves?
Hank Aaron was one of the best baseball players to ever play
the game. In fact, In 1974, exactly 20 years after starting his
professional career, he broke Babe Ruth's home run record. By
the end of his 23-year career, Aaron had hit 755 home runs.
Aaron began his career playing shortstop in the Negro
American League-an association of teams made up of African
American players who had been shut out of white professional
baseball. In those days, the life of a baseball player was hard.
Players traveled a great deal, played many games, and earned
very little money. Despite the many hardships, Hank Aaron
continued to play.
After a short time in the Negro American League, Aaron was
recruited by the Major League team the Milwaukee Braves. By
1954, he was mostly playing as one of the team's outfielders,
but it was his skill as a hitter that made him shine.
