Sometimes he will but maybe he won’t. It really won’t be that exciting, trust me. These matches of the titans are always same ole, same ole in baseball. It just is. ….

Hank Aaron made his way back to the Braves Spring Training Camp and commented on various topics including Mark McGwire’s admission to using steroids. According to Aaron who retied in 1976 “I would have loved to have seen him do it a long time ago,..But since he did it, I think that he himself is able to sleep at night and be able to speak to his teammates. He’s done everything that he can do.” This guy continues to be a class act. Especially so, since many feel that he would still hold the home run [click to contimue reading...]
