On April 8, 1974, America watched as Hank Arron stepped up to the plate. The pitch was low and down the middle. Hank swung - and hit home run number 715. With that hit, Hank Arron surpassed Babe Ruth's legendary record and realized a lifelong dream. Before blacks were allowed in the major leagues, Hank was determined that that was where he was going to play. When his success on the field triggered a deluge of hate mail, he refused to back down. This is the story of Hank Arron's strength and perseverance - of how he became a great ballplayer and an inspiration to us all.
