Hank Aaron

"Hank" Henry Aaron is an African-American from Mobile, Alabama. He was born in a part of the town called "Down by the Bay," a poor black area of the town. Soon after he was born he moved to a part of the town called "Toulminville" where he lived most of his childhood years (Henry Aaron #1).

So at the end of the 1965 season the Braves would be leaving and going to Milwaukee (Henry Aaron Prt. #2 pg. # 2).
