Synopsis: As Hank Aaron closes in on a historic home-run record, a Little Leaguer watches from the stands—and hopes to become a baseball hero himself . . . Mark, a young boy who plays Little League and idolizes Hank Aaron, is playing close attention as the slugger gets closer and closer to break Babe Ruth&’s home run record. Then Mark gets a chance to meet his hero—and learns that there&’s more to being a great baseball player than hitting the ball out of the park. This story by an experienced author of sports fiction for children features outstanding illustrations, some exciting baseball history and biography—and a winning message for young athletes. &“The paintings showing Aaron standing heroically in huge stadiums are very effective.&” —Booklist
