"History was in good form on the day it chose Hank Aaron… if Ruth invented the home run, it was Aaron who… gave volume to a voice nobody had ever listened to. It was an instrument of the people. It was Jesse Owens' feet, Joe Louis' fists, and Jackie Robinson's forbearance… baseball and America needed Hank Aaron to be the one" (Lonnie Wheeler). To Ted Williams, Hank Aaron is simply "one of the greatest… he's my kind of guy." First edition, first printing, commemorating the 25th anniversary of Aaron's breaking Babe Ruth's home run record.
