About this product

Product Information

Baseball has witnessed more than 125,000 home runs. Many have altered the outcome of games, and some have decided pennants and become legend. But no dinger has had greater impact than Hank Aaron's 715th home run. His historic blast on April 8, 1974, lifted him above Babe Ruth on the all-time list, an achievement that shook not only baseball but our nation itself. Aaron's magnificent feat provoked bigotry and shattered prejudice, inspired a generation, emboldened a flagging civil rights movement, and called forth the demons that haunted Aaron's every step and turned what should have been a joyous pursuit into a hellish nightmare. In this powerful recollection, Tom Stanton penetrates the myth of Aaron's chase and uncovers the compelling story behind the most consequential athletic achievement of the past fifty years. Three decades after Hank Aaron reached the pinnacle of the national pastime, and now as Barry Bonds makes history of his own, Stanton unfolds a tale rich with drama, poignancy, and suspense to bring to life the elusive spirit of an American hero.

This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is in better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you.

Item is complete and 100% as described. Shipping was reasonable and item packaged well and arrived 100% intact though-out the shipping process. I would purchase from this seller again! Note: My 3 star rating for seller communications is due to the fact the seller and I did not communicate outside the simple transaction. I am sure that the seller would communicate well if the need existed. The "3 Star" rating on communication in no way applies to the seller. It represents a "Null" value.

Great price on a fantastic Captain America Movie Blu-ray/DVD Combo pack. It arrived very quickly and was exactly as described. However the Blu-Ray turned-out to be defective and the Seller refunded my purchase price immediately. No questions asked, Excellent Vendor! I would definitely buy from them again.

Great book a must have for baseball lovers out there.
I love baseball and knowing how years ago they sacrificed to be able to play the game they so much loved. I found on the road a pit bull almost got hit by a car and picked him up and tried to find his people but not to be found so after 3 weeks guess what he is mine. I named this gentle calmest loving dog Hank Aaron after the great player in the 70's. I love this book I read it to my pitty while his head lays in my lap. How much better could that be. Thank you for having it for sale. Houston Astro's are the greatest team ever. 2017 Series winnersI love baseball and knowing how years ago they sacrificed to be able to play the game they so much loved.

The long chase, seen three decades later
One of the great ironies of Barry Bonds' pursuit of Henry Aaron is that today's commentators say Bonds lacks the stature -- steroids and his personality -- to challenge the great Henry Aaron. But in reading Tom Stanton's book on Aaron and his ordeal, one realizes that it was not so long ago...in my lifetime...that Henry Aaron was chasing Babe Ruth. Astonishingly, Aaron was not seen as having the stature to crack the Babe's home run total. Much of the animosity was race-based, but much of it also seemed to have been the continuing worship of Ruth in the minds of the fans and the front offices of baseball. Roger Maris suffered more from this comparison, which is unfair and odious, but Aaron labored under the double burden of race and Ruth. The determination, quality, and dignity he showed in ...

Roger Maris suffered more from this comparison, which is unfair and odious, but Aaron labored under the double burden of race and Ruth. The determination, quality, and dignity he showed in refusing to back down in the face of hard pitches, harder sportswriters, and harsher fans, should be an example to today's stars, and a realization that the more things change...the more they do stay the same. Which is a sad commentary on humanity...our paradoxical inability to rise beyond ourselves, when we do anyway.
