Sandra Scott Travels: At Home With Hammering Hank
Last week I asked: What baseball great was nicknamed “The Hammer?” It is, of course, 
Hank Aaron. On a recent trip to Mobile, Alabama, John and I visited the Hank Aaron Childhood Home. It was built by his father, Herbert, in 1942 and is located next to the Hank Aaron Stadium. We were lucky Mike Callahan, the stadium’s assistant general manager, was available to give us a tour because he is an encyclopedia of Hank Aaron stories.
