When Henry Hank Aaron was a young boy growing up in
Mobile, Alabama, in the early 1940s, he played sandlot-or,
vacant lot-baseball. He was very athletic and spent the
long summers running, fielding, and hitting with his
friends. Who knew that 10 years later he would be playing
with the National Baseball League's 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 Milwaukee Braves of the National
League in 1952. He was assigned to minor-league teams,
first in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, then in jacksonville, Florida. In
