baseball is on its way to recovering from the era of steroids.
The Mobile native was at the Atlanta Braves' spring training
camp today. He offered no opinion on whether Barry Bonds and Roger
Clemens deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, but said "baseball is
trying to clean up its act."
Sitting in the Braves' dugout during batting practice, Hammerin'
Hank said "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.
He declined to say whether he found Clemens' testimony
believable. He took the same tack he consistently followed when
similar charges were leveled against Barry Bonds, the guy who broke
the Hammer's home run record last season.
