my fifth annotation

Stanton, Tom. Hank Aaron and the home run that changed America.. 1st. New York: W. Morrow, 2004.

My fifth annotation a book Hank Aaron and the home run that changed America. This is another helpful book about Hank Aaron home runs and about him beating Babe Ruth's record and how baseball was segregated.

The book starts with great baseball players at Jackie Robinson's funeral such as Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron was there. Segregation meant different seating sections of buses, fountains, restaurants, and in many other ways. Hank Aaron got expelled from Central High School for skipping and then went to Josephine Allen Institute for private school. Hank hit bottle caps with sticks when he was little. In 1951 he joined the Negro League Black Bears. In 1952 hank joined the Indianapolis Clowns.
