It is an interesting match-up.UK wrote:It's ironic that it's Aaron against a noted racist.
Of course, racism was as prevalent in Hornsby's day as amphetamine usage was in Aaron's day. I just wonder if Hornsby's off-field racism should hold as much weight as Aaron's on-field greeny usage*.
*while there's no proof that Aaron took greenies, you have to assume that with the rampant post-war usage of amphetamines in baseball, that he was a user as well. I mean, was Jim Bouton the ONLY player in baseball popping dextroamphetamine pills? There are plenty of ex-players that would like us to believe that, but I just don't buy it.
