I guess I'll have to dust it off and read it...sub-titled 'The Last Hero A Life of Henry Aaron.

While I'm an avid Baseball book collector, I've only read about 10% of my library...but, I hope to get better.

Didnt read that book..but honestly never heard that AAron did not see eye to eye with Mays....never heard that in many many years of following them both

Wait - are you saying that Denny Terrio mistreated fans?

Yeah, but what ever happened to that chick who danced with him? She was enough to make Mays smile.
