"Aaron signed his first professional contract at 17 with the Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro Leagues, and was hitting well over .450 for the Clowns in 1952 when major league scouts began flocking around them. Both the Giants and the Braves offered Aaron contracts, but he wound up signing with the Braves when they offered a salary of $100-a-month more. “Imagine” he said years later, “for the difference of $100 a month I could have been in the same outfield with Willie Mays.”"
