June 12, 1952only a local sportswriter showed up at the Eau Claire airport to greet a newly signed eighteenyearold shortstop from Alabama toting a cardboard suitcase. 'I was scared as hell,' said Henry Aaron, recalling his arrival as the new recruit on the citys Class C minor league baseball team.Fortytwo 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 twentythree years as a ballplayer, but nothing touched me more than that day in Eau Claire.' For the people of Eau Claire, Aarons 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.
