Hank Aaron was one of the best, in so many ways.
As a kid who spent his early childhood in Milwaukee in the 1950s, just after the Braves moved there, I think my earliest and most enduring memory concerning Hank Aaron (his rookie year was 1954) is that none of the white suburbs wanted him to live in their city.
It was probably my first time experience with the fact that the America I was taught in school wasn't the America that actually existed in lives of many people. And this is still the false America that conservatives want to teach our kids today.
