Freshly arrived, this book is about to get dog-eared and worn out as I continue my delve into Hank Aaron’s life for my next video. While it will include elements of Hank’s experience, it’s primarily built around his 1954 Topps card and what it symbolizes.

Henry Sandham's 1894 painting is lost, but the engraving (a "Goupilgravure") survives. Not better when colorized, by contemporary or later hands, it depicts a Temple Cup contest between Baltimore and host New York.
