About This Item
From the dust-jacket flap: "Henry Aaron was a young boy growing up in Mobile, Alabama, with what seemed like an impossible 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. But nothing could stop Henry Aaron. Matt Tavares's captivating biography of Henry 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--is an inspiring homage to one of baseball's all-time greats."
