Aaron finished the final season of his fabulous career with the Milwaukee Brewers. “The Man Who Made Milwaukee Famous” by Brewer teammate Don Money is more or less a diary of this first season back in Milwaukee in 1975. It is told through the eyes, ears and feelings of the author as he puts the reader in the locker room and on the road with one of the all time greats.
We also have videos on display including a Sports Century episode on Hank Aaron and his appearance on Home Run Derby.
