Hank Aaron Belives The Sport Will Survive All The Scandal
Baseball legend Hank Aaron believes that game will survive despite all the scandals, drug use and bad vibes around the sport.
From Fox Sports: “I think baseball is trying to clean up its act,” Aaron said, sitting in the Braves’ dugout during batting practice. “It’s unfortunate for baseball, but baseball has been through some tough times. It went through the White Sox scandal and survived. It went through a lot of things and survived. It’s going to survive this, too.”
Like many baseball fans, Aaron tuned in when the Mitchell Report was released, and he was in front of the television set again for Roger Clemens’ testimony before Congress last week, when the seven-time Cy Young Award winner denied using human growth hormone as alleged by his former trainer.
“I’m glad it happened, and I’m glad it happened before spring training, before the season started,” Aaron said. “We can get it over and done with. You’ll see. When the season starts, we’ll again be drawing fans. People will come out to watch these kids play.”
Truer words could not have been spoken by a legend among legends.
