But I digress. It seems that Bonds has been whining about the lack of communication and help that Hank Aaron has shown him. Hank was interviewed about this a couple days ago and had this to say.:
“I’m sorry Barry feels that way, and I don’t have any resentment toward him whatsoever, but I have no intention of trying to get in contact with him or doing anything with him in regard to his [chasing the record]. Nothing. Why should I?” said Aaron, who discovered only recently that the privately sensitive slugger for the San Francisco Giants wants to become pen pals or something. “It’s really not a big concern of mine. I don’t know why I should have to do anything. I might send him a telegram, and that would be the extent of it.”
That is too bad. I am about to embark on a new career and I am pissed that Hank Aaron has not called me to give me advice either. I am with Barry on this one, I think Hank should get on the phone (or telegraph) and help all of us out. I am sure it is real difficult having to deal with the pressures of breaking a baseball record while juicing up. Give me a break.
