1. Thank you. Growing up in North Carolina, I watched the Atlanta Braves, probably because they were the closest thing to

hometown team.

When the All Star Games was held in San Francisco, I was fortunate enough to attend and Aaron made an appearance on the field.
I stood up and cheered and waved wildly. My cousin, who was attending with me asked what was I doing? I told her,
“Shut up! I’m waving at Hank Aaron!”

I had waited a long time.

2. What a great story jls4561. I'd bet Hank was worth the long time. Thank You!

3. I came from Germany at 14 and as kid

the first American thing I fell in love with was baseball. I remember watching this on the TV live with my foster father in Tavoma WA.

5. Saw Hank Aaron Play

I saw Hank Aaron play in Milwaukee during the 1957 season. Went to the park with my uncle---had my first bratwurst at the stadium.
What a team Milwaukee had that year!!!

6. The 1957 Milwaukee Braves

The 1957 Milwaukee Braves inherited an array of heroes to worship and quickly became the sensation of baseball.
