A Summer Up North

Published on 2002-10-28 by Univ of Wisconsin Press
June 12, 1952—only a local sportswriter showed up at the Eau Claire airport to greet a newly signed eighteen-year-old shortstop from Alabama toting a cardboard suitcase. |I was scared as hell,| said Henry Aaron, recalling his arrival as the new recruit on the city’s Class C minor league baseball team. Forty-two years later, as Aaron approached the stadium where the Eau Claire Bears once played, an estimated five thousand people surrounded a newly raised bronze statue of a young |Hank| Aaron at bat. |I had goosebumps,| he said later. |A lot of things happened to me in my twenty-three years as a ballplayer, but nothing touched me more than that day in Eau Claire.| For the people of Eau Claire, Aaron’s summer two years before his Major League debut with the Milwaukee Braves symbolizes a magical time, when baseball fans in a small city in northern Wisconsin could live a part of the dream.
