I think Aaron’s tribute was more a statement of Hank’s class and love of baseball than anything else. For him not to give some form of tribute would have created a perception that he was bitter about no longer holding the record.

I think you're absolutely right.

Hank Aaron was a neighbor of ours when he was with Milwaukee. We had a tremendous amount of respect for him, and his family.

I will never forget Hank Aaron's home run to surpass the record. I couldn't care less about Bonds, and chose not to watch the game.
