Here, in his own words as told to Furman Bisher, sports editor of the Atlanta Journal, is the story of Hank Aaron's professional career, from his beginnings as a $200-a-month shortstop for the Clowns to his entry into the exalted $100,000-a-year class in 1967.

This is an inside look at the way in which it all happened told in Aaron's honest, straightforward manner.
