Aaron on Bonds

The steroid scandal in baseball continues unabated, but this time, Hank Aaron is having a say. Hammerin’ Hank is disappointed in Barry Bonds.

"First, since I played the game myself, I know that you can't put something in your body to make you hit a fastball, changeup or curveball," Aaron told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Saturday.
"The only person who can do that is the good Lord. But, at that age [40], you have to ask: Did he accomplish all of this by rejuvenating his strength from day to day with those substances? I know that when you reach a certain age, you just don't bounce back as quickly as you think you can when you're playing all of those games.
"Drugs won't help you hit the ball. But can they make you recuperate consistently enough to hit the kind of home runs that these guys are hitting?"

Thanks to ESPN and ESPN wire services for contributing the quotes from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution used in this post


Good Question, Hank.
