ATLVault: Hank Aaron rendezvous with sports immortality, 50 years ago
Description

Over a long, distinguished career as an American sports journalist, Terence Moore likely interviewed Hank Aaron more than anyone. In fact, Moore said he was the last media professional to interview Aaron before his death on Jan. 22, 2021.

“Hank once said to me, ‘Of all the books that’ve been written about me, and of the documentaries produced about me, no one truly knows the real Hank Aaron,” Moore said, recalling a conversation with baseball’s true home run king. “And I said, ‘Well, we need to do a book.’ And Hank says, ‘Yes, we do.’ ”

Moore is sharing more than three decades of interviews and conversations with Aaron in “The Real Hank Aaron: An Intimate Look at the Life and Legacy of the Home Run King.”

Aaron gained his hard-earned immortality in American sports history 50 years ago over the course of four days in April 1974.
