About this product

Product Information

Henry Aaron left his mark on the world by breaking Babe Ruth's record for home runs. But the world has also left its mark on him. Hammering Hank Aaron's story is one that tells us much about baseball, naturally, but also about our times. His unique, poignant life has made him a symbol for much of the social history of twentieth-century America. Raised during the Depression in the Deep South enclave of Mobile, Alabama, Aaron broke into professional baseball as a cross-handed slugger and shortstop for the Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro American League. A year later, he and a few others had the unforgettable mission of integrating the South Atlantic League. A year after that, he was a timid rookie leftfielder for the Milwaukee Braves, for whom he became a World Series hero in 1957 as well as the Most Valuable Player of the National League. Aaron found himself back in the South when the Braves moved to Atlanta in 1965. Nine years later, in the heat of hatred and controversy, he hit his 715th home run to break Ruth's and baseball's most cherished record--a feat that was recently voted the greatest moment in baseball history. That year, Aaron received over 900,000 pieces of mail, many of them vicious and racially charged. In a career that may be the most consistent baseball has ever seen. Aaron also set all-time records for total bases and RBIs. He ended his playing days by spending two nostalgic seasons back in Milwaukee with the Brewers, then embarked on a new career as an executive with the Atlanta Braves. He was for a long time the highest-ranking black in baseball. In this position, Aaron has become an unofficial spokesman in racial matters pertaining to the national pastime. Because of the depth and pertinence of Aaron's dramatic experiences, I Had A Hammer is more than a baseball autobiography. Henry Aaron's candor and insights have produced a revealing book about his extraordinary life and time.

    The Hammer strikes all the right notes

    I was aware of Hanks record breaking status but this excellent account of his successful life in sport despite all the racist issues of the times is compelling & inspiring and adds greatly to understanding his greatness as a man

    I had a hammer

    Really interesting book about Hammering Hank. Really interesting and has some neat pictures about hank and his career with Milwaukee and Atlanta and his fame leading up to the big 715 and all the way to 755 homeruns. Really one of the most overlooked great player of a lifetime, slow but sure hank did it every year and not many people took notice to him or what he was doing all the way to breaking Babe Ruths career home run mark of 715. Truly a great ball player and a slient hero for all and the game of baseball.

    If I Had a Hammer by Hank Aaron and Lonnie Wheeler 1991

    I live in Eau Claire and Hank really got started here. There are a few pages about his time here and being one of two blacks in the whole city. Hank Aaron is not only known for his phenomenal baseball talents, but also for being a gentleman. He is an inspiration and role-model for everyone. A special friend had a son graduation from 8th grade and I bought this book for him. The week I bought it there was an article in the paper about expanding the Hank Aaron bust area at the Eau Claire baseball stadium to a local baseball hall of fame. We also had a group of young ballplayers make it all the way to nationals this year. I like a biography from time to time, especially when it refers to the city I live in and shares the life of such an outstanding man.
