If you have never read the book, The Hank Aaron Story: I Had A Hammer, you need to, and you need to do it ASAP!
The day was April 8th, 1974. That day, Atlanta was the heart of America’s pastime, and Hank Aaron was the pulse.
It technically wasn’t Atlanta Fulton County Stadium then. It was known only as Atlanta Stadium. Nonetheless, it still is a cherished moment in not only the stadium and county’s history, but it’s etched forever in the halls of Cooperstown.
I was in Cooperstown for the Induction Ceremony of Bobby Cox, Greg Maddux, and Tom Glavine.
