Author Series: The Real Hank Aaron: An Intimate Look at the Life and Legacy of the Home Run King

As a young 12-year-old fan of Hank Aaron, Terence Moore treasured his poster of the legendary outfielder. Years later, Aaron would sign the poster for Moore, writing the message, “Best wishes to Terry.” And then after the passing of Aaron, Moore would become an honorary pallbearer at his funeral. Moore also stayed up late the night before the service, helping Hank’s widow, Billye, write his obituary. In The Real Hank Aaron, longtime Atlanta sportswriter Terence Moore captures the Hall of Famer’s contagious laugh, his pointed views, the depth of his admiration for Jackie Robinson and his thoughts on Barry Bonds and the steroid era.
