  1. Dear Hank Aaron,
    Why did you retire form baseball and did you break the world record of hitting home runs and do you got a job and I like baseball too but I never been in a real game but I played basketball and why did you not pitch and why did you get threats from people and why did you quit baseball and where do you live how old are you now and what do you do for a living now and is your mother and father still alive you sounded very good in the story when you was playing baseball.
    Sincerely,
    Davonte

  4. Dear Mr. Aaron,
    Hi! Mr. Aaron I had read your book it was fun because I saw you. And do you have kids because I want to see the drawings of them in the book. And can I come to your next game if you have one. How is you doing you and your kids if you have some. And what team did you play for if you get back in. And tell everybody to clean up because people want to come to a birthday.
    Sincerely,
    Derrell

  7. Dear Mr. Aaron,
    Why did you want to be a baseball player I should say you are good at baseball man you had more home runs than anybody else you are a star I think you are cool do you like any other sports like football, basketball, hockey tennis. My favorite sport and part of the book is football and basketball and the part I like about the story is when you made all them homeruns and how you beat the white dude in baseball you got a lot of talent and did you pitch.

  8. Dear Mr. Aaron,
    I did not like the way white people did send you bad letters I think I know why did white people are just jerks. I would think you are better then me that’s why I write this letter to you. So if I were you I would stand up for myself and say I maybe be the best baseball player but I have dignity to show it.
    Sincerely,
    Alex

  11. Dear Hank Aaron,
    I heard about your story being a baseball player. I liked the way you hit all of those home runs. Did you ever pitch before? I like baseball, well kind of. I like football, basketball, games, and I like to wrestle. I was glad that you saw your mom and your dad. And did those bad letters hurt you? Do you have kids? And if you do, are they planning on being like you? Well, anyway, I hope you write me back.

    I admire you. You were a great baseball player. You were determined. You didn’t care about what people said and you kept on moving on. Someday I want to be brave like you. I hope you write back.

  14. Dear Hank,
    I am not a fan of baseball but I know you worked hard to achieve your goal. Anyways my favorite sport is basketball I am a girl. When I read your biography and I didn’t like when they sent you mean letters because of your skin color. What position did you play in? Why did you play in that position? I will love for you to send a letter to my house.
    Sincerely,
    Kiara
