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.

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.

Book arrived in great shape. Thanks for taking the time to bubble wrap so it did not get banged up. Looking forward to reading it!!! It was a "great deal."

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.

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.

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.
