Hammerin' Hank
The following letter appeared in the August 13 Sports Illustrated. Tim Shullberg, who hails from Long Beach, California, provides us with an eloquent homage to Hammerin' Hank Aaron:
"Thank you, SI, for a great cover honoring Hank Aaron ('The People's King,' July 23). How pristine the image is -- no batting gloves, no wristbands, no gold chains or earrings, no body armor and not even pine tar. Just a man with a cylindrical piece of wood waiting on a horsehide sphere. Magnificent."
This is a smaller version of the photo that was the subject of Mr. Shullberg's letter:
Magnificent, indeed.
