Matt Tavares
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 grow ing 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. B ut none of this could stop Henry Aaron. In a captivating biography of Henr y 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.
