Hank Aaron was a hero to many and provided countless hours of joy to the people of Milwaukee who had the privilege to cheer him on as a member of the Milwaukee Braves and Brewers. “More importantly, Hank Aaron’s impact went far beyond the baseball field. He overcame racist hate mail and death threats as he broke the home run record held at the time by Babe Ruth. His activism did not end when he hung up his cleats.

  • Close Reading Framework—Biography: Hank Aaron: Hammering Home a Message of Equality
    Close Reading Framework—Biography: Hank Aaron: Hammering Home a Message of Equality Synopsis On February 5, 1934, Hank Aaron was born in Mobile, Alabama. He followed his lifelong love of baseball from playing as a kid to the Negro Leagues and finally to the Major Leagues where he played for the Milwaukee Braves (who moved to Atlanta during Aaron’s career). His major league career lasted 23 years. He was not just a professional baseball player; he was an extraordinary professional baseball player. He broke many records during his career. One of the most impressive records that he held was for most career home runs. It took more than 20 years for another player to beat his record of 755 home runs. In recognition of his wonderful achievements in baseball and in his personal life, Hank Aaron was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2002. Background: A BaseBall Hero What made Hank Aaron stand apart from other baseball players was his ability to hit the ball— and hit it well. This is why other players and baseball fans gave him the nickname “Hammerin’ Hank.” During his 23 years playing for the Braves and then back to Milwaukee with the Brewers where he ended his career, Aaron played as an outfielder. Aaron set records in baseball that no one has managed to beat to this day. These records include: runs batted in, extra base hits, and total bases. Before Aaron broke the record for most career home runs in 1974, the record belonged to one of the most legendary baseball players of all time: Babe Ruth.

  • Hank Aaron Leaves Inspiring Legacy
    For UBS marketing purposes Henry Louis "Hank" Aaron, the Hall of Fame slugger whose 755 career home runs long stood as baseball's golden mark, has died. He was 86. (UBS) Athletes and Entertainers Hank Aaron leaves inspiring legacy 25 January 2021, 2:47 pm CET, written by UBS Editorial Team Hank Aaron, one of baseball’s greatest all-around players, died Friday, aged 86, leaving behind an inspiring legacy. Many will likely remember Aaron’s composure and grace as he endured racist threats during his pursuit of Babe Ruth’s home run record, as much as his numerous achievements on the diamond. As well as being a 25-time All-Star, an MVP and a three-time Gold Glove, Aaron ended his career as Major League Baseball’s all-time home run leader with 755. He had taken the crown from the New York Yankees' great Babe Ruth and later lost it to San Francisco Giants legend Barry Bonds. President of The Players Alliance, and former Major League All-Star outfielder, Curtis Granderson stated that "we lost one of our game’s greatest icons, Hank Aaron. A devoted civil rights activist, his lasting impact will forever be measured well beyond his “Hammerin’ Hank” home run swing." "On behalf of the players that make up the Alliance, we owe a debt of gratitude for all Hank Aaron did for our game and our country’s movement toward equality. We send our deepest condolences to his family in the wake of his passing," Granderson said. The Players Alliance, made-up of over 100 black current and former professional baseball players, united to use their collective voice and platform to create increased opportunities for the black community in every aspect of baseball and beyond.

Ever since I broached the idea of writing a thesis in spring 2019, they not only supported me, but guided me through the tough times in order to create this project. From bouncing ideas off you to using your encouragement to keep pushing forward, I cannot thank the both of you enough. I would also like to thank my advisor, Dr. Matthew Andrews, for his constant support, guidance, and advice over the last year. Rather than simply giving feedback or instructions on different parts of my thesis, our meetings would turn into conversations, feeding off a mutual love for learning about how sports impact history. While Dr. Andrews was an advisor for this past year, he will be a friend for life. Thank you to Dr. Michelle King as well, as her guidance throughout the year as the teacher for our thesis class was invaluable. Thank you for putting up with our nonsense and shepherding us throughout this process, Dr. King. This project was supported by the Tom and Elizabeth Long Excellence Fund for Honors administered by Honors Carolina, as well as The Michel L. and Matthew L. Boyatt Award for Research in History administered by the Department of History at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Through the 1940s and 1950s some of the best young ballplayers from throughout the United States played for the Bears and Braves in Eau Claire. Now In 1940, Andy Pafko, who grew up in Boyceville, had his baseball dreams come true in Eau Claire. Andy had a seventeen-year major league career that included a year with the World Champion Milwaukee Braves in 1957. In 1950, Billy Bruton became the first black player to play for the Bears. Wes Covington, a 1952 teammate of Hank Aaron, went on to a 10- year career with the Milwaukee Braves. In 1956- 57, “Mr. Baseball,” Bob Uecker, played in Eau Claire and had a brief major league career. Bob made his name as a baseball comedian and an Bob Uecker with the 1957 Eau Claire Braves announcer for the Milwaukee Braves. In 1960, Joe Torre led the Northern League in hitting.

  • The Keokuk Cardinals 1958 – 1961, Midwest League a Class D Farm Club of the St
    The Keokuk Cardinals 1958 – 1961, Midwest League A Class D Farm Club of the St. Louis Cardinals By Steve Smith Keokuk baseball has a long and illustrious history. At its peak in 1960, the small city— located on the bluffs of the Mississippi River in the southeast corner of Iowa—had a population of 16,300. Keokuk’s professional baseball history began in 1875 when the Keokuk Westerns became the State of Iowa’s only major league team. For over three quarters of a century until the Dodgers and Giants moved west in 1957, the City of Keokuk shared with St. Louis the distinction of being one of only two cities west of the Mississippi River to have a major league team. In 1875, the Keokuk Westerns became a member of the then-major league National Association. Keokuk competed with the likes of Boston, Hartford, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, and New Haven. However, the company proved too fast as Keokuk compiled a 1-12 record before it withdrew from the league on June 16, 1875. Over the next 75 years, Keokuk was a member of the Western Association (1885), the Iowa State League (1904-1906), the Central Association (1907-1915), Mississippi Valley League (1929-1933), Western League (1935), the reorganized Central Association (1947- 1949) and Three-I League (1952-57) prior to entering the Midwest League in 1958 as a farm club of the St. Louis Cardinals. Future major leaguers who passed through Keokuk on their way to the major leagues included Charlie Hollocher, Ken O’Dea, Joe Becker, Gus Bell, Roger Maris (32 HRs and 111 RBIs with the 1954 Keokuk Kernels) and Stan Pitula.

    NEWS RELEASE Sheriff Earnell R. Lucas Statement on the Passing of Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Henry “Hank” Aaron (Milwaukee, WI January 22, 2021) Sheriff Earnell R. Lucas issued the following statement on the passing of Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Henry “Hank” Aaron: “I am deeply saddened by the passing of Major League Baseball great Henry “Hank” Aaron. Starting as a humble young boy from Mobile, AL, Hank rose to become a giant on the baseball field and legend in the hearts and minds of those who knew the many passions and pursuits of this great man. Hank learned to play the game of baseball on the sandlots in his hometown, which was also home to other Major League greats including Satchel Paige, Billy Williams, Ozzie Smith and Willie McCovey. Hank arrived in Eau Claire, WI, in pursuit of his goal of playing in the Major Leagues five years after baseball’s color barrier was broken by Jackie Robinson. Because of his race, Hank suffered numerous indignities while pursuing his dream, before reaching the big leagues in 1954 with the Milwaukee Braves. Known for his speed and agility, Hank began racking up career numbers in hits, runs batted in and home runs, earning him the National League’s Most Valuable Player Award in 1957. Hank led the Braves to back-to-back World Series in 1957 and 1958, bringing the title home to Milwaukee in 1957. Hank went on to pursue one of the most hallowed records in all of sports, the Major League Baseball home run record of 714 held by Babe Ruth, which he surpassed on April 4, 1974.
