Customer Reviews

All Milwaukee Braves and baseball fans should have this book

If you lived in Milwaukee as I did during the Braves tenure here, this is the book for you. But, all baseball fans will revel in this book. The section that I liked the most was the listing of all of Aaron's home runs, the team he hit them against and the pitcher he hit them against. It is a large book dimensionally with tons of pictures. I recommend it to baseball fans of all ilk.

incredible

the man was not only a great ball player but a reminder of the struggle for african-americans.he broke down so many doors.imagine having the fbi escort you to a baseball game? hate mail for breaking babe ruth's record? jackie robinson & larry doby opened the doors as well as the negro league but mr. Aaron kicked it thru.he is a class act and a true ambassador.he stared racisim dead in the eye and achieved.a true hero for all time.this book states that & more.

Great book -- made me cry ...

the book deeply touched me , as it told the life of the great base ball palyer , and his struggle as an african american in the major leagues.

Beautiful book

This was an excellent book with beautiful illustrations. The quotes from so many exceptional athletes really adds to the book. It made a great Father's Day gift, especially since Hank was in Atlanta last week for the book signing. He's a class act who is very humble. He's the type of person I hope my children have as one of their heroes. I didn't realize until I read the book the kind of discrimination and criticism he had to deal with in baseball.

A great book but I have not read.

I haven't read this book but I think it is a great book about a great player as well as person.I was shocked that he was getting death threats from people and it was over a stupid homerun.Thats my review on the book Homerun:My Life In Pictures by Hank Aaron and Dick Schapp and a forword by Ted Williams.
