| Abstract
|
:
|
Aaron's 1973-1974 quest to break the home run record of Babe Ruth not only allowed this quiet man to accept the mantle of his idol, Jackie Robinson, but also allowed him to advance the cause of African Americans throughout the United States. Stanton explores the social and political climate surrounding the game's record-breaking season.
