I don’t see a problem with Hank Aaron not showing up. He’s old, he apparently doesn’t travel much, and it’s not like he has anything to do with the steroid mess in baseball. Selig on the other hand is just being silly. He was in charge when the CBAs that wouldn’t allow for steroid testing were being signed, he let the PA keep steroids functionally OK, he also helped maintain a tradition of the commish being on hand for big records being broken. For him to get high and mighty now is hypocritical and preposterous, Bud needs to sleep in the bed he made.
Agree with your comment about Aaron. At the rate Bonds is hitting lately, who knows when he will eventually break the record. Is Aaron supposed to travel around the country with the Giants wating for Bonds to eclipse the record. It could be days or weeks of waiting.
