One for the Record: The Inside Story of Hank Aaron's Chase for the Home Run Record

This is a fun little book even if you know only a shred about baseball. It's a wonderful story about the thoughts in people's minds and of their experiences as they are part of a momentous event...be it a part from a distance or from practical participation. There are tornado warnings (literally), bad luck at the concession stand, and a truly hilarious event involving an oblivious telephone operator. From an entertainment aspect, it may include a limited amount of volume for a novice fan, but as a baseball junkie and from an historical AND entertainment perspective...a copy of this book was one of my father's most precious childhood gifts.
