Front Jacket Excerpt:
"Henry Aaron left his mark on the world by breaking Babe Ruth's record for
home runs. But the world has also left its mark on him. "Hammering Hank"
Aaron's story is one that tells us much about baseball, naturally, but also
about our times. His unique, poignant life has made him a symbol for much
of the social history of twentieth-century America. Raised during the
Depression in the deep south enclave of Mobile, Alabama, Aaron broke into
professional baseball as a cross-handed slugger and shortstop for the
Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro American League"..."Because of the depth
and pertinance of Aaron's dramatic experiences, "I Had a Hammer" is more
than a baseball autobiography. Henry Aaron's candor and insights have
produced a revealing book about his extraordinary life and times." The
front cover features a full-color photo of Hank Aaron wearing his
home-white Milwakee Braves uniform.
