TO MOVE FAMILY HERE IN ’6
Atlanta Wins Hank
By HAL HAYES
The Henry Louis Aaron Family, six strong,
will make Atlanta its 1966 home when the base-
ball Braves of Milwaukee become a memory
and the National League and true Southern
hospitality become acquainted.
“Tf I don’t move my family down here, I
might as well join the Army or something,”
the stylish right fielder, more commonly known
as Hank, said. ‘I wouldn’t get to be with them
then either. Sure we'll move.
“We visited in many of the residential sec-
tions of the city this morning, and both my
wife and I were awfully impressed,’’ he said.
“We saw some truly lovely houses down here.”
Earlier, Wisconsin newspapers reportedly
quoted Aaron as saying he would not move
his family to Atlanta in 1966. He flatly denied
this.
“T said it would be hard to leave Milwaukee,
where all of our close friends are,” he said,
“but I never said I wouldn’t move here. That’s
just one of the many stories some writers have
twisted.”
Aaron was but a few hours away from |
boarding a flight back to Wisconsin. The mis- |
sion to which he and teammate Eddie Mathews |
had dedicated their weekend was done. They |
had come, as special guests of the 100 Per
Cent Wrong Club, to attend a gigantic banquet |
and receive the coveted “‘Two Friends” award. |
“Tf I were to come on to Atlanta and leave
my family in Milwaukee during the season,”
