Friends and family knew Henry Louis Aaron as quick-witted, hilarious, and fiercely opinionated beyond what was shown in public. With the encouragement of Aaron’s family, Terence Moore now reveals this heartfelt portrait of Hank Aaron, featuring nearly 40 years of stories plus never-before-told insights from the home run king.

You’ll see his wisdom. You’ll see his foresight. You’ll see his humor. You’ll see his anger. You’ll see his humanity. You’ll see Aaron as you’ve never seen him before.

Aaron not only battled racism during his playing days, but also during his days as a front office executive. The Hall of Famer shared this with Moore, who experienced his own strife at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution as the first Black sports columnist ever in the Deep South. The two leaned on each other while developing a tight relationship, and Moore became The Hank Aaron Whisperer whenever the baseball great wanted to convey messages to the public.

The Real Hank Aaron captures the icon’s contagious laugh and pointed views, from the depth of his admiration for Jackie Robinson to his true thoughts on Barry Bonds and the steroid era. Featuring Aaron’s views on race, politics, media, and sports fandom, this is a charming and illuminating glimpse at the man outside the spotlight. It’s an intimate perspective on the baseball legend, the culmination of decades of friendship and correspondence.
