Hank Aaron relates how the challenge of breaking Babe Ruth's home run record was not only on the diamond. Bob Feller, Cecil Travis, Tommy Henrich and Jerry Coleman describe the effects of World War II on their careers. Bobby Thomson and Ralph Branca address the "Shot Heard Round the World" in the Giants vs. Dodgers playoff of 1951.
