'The Real Hank Aaron,' written by a longtime journalist with Milwaukee ties, covers every angle of Aaron's struggles and legacy

Terence Moore's first impression of Hank Aaron was one of considerable disappointment.

Moore, who went on to a decades-long career in sports journalism and grew close with Aaron, moved to Milwaukee with his family in 1972, though his rooting allegiance remained with his old hometown team, the Cincinnati Reds.

Aaron returned in 1975 and 1976 to play for the Brewers in Milwaukee, the city where he first made his name as one of baseball's legends from 1954-65 with the Milwaukee Braves. But as Moore and his brothers found out, this wasn't that Aaron.
