Let's Hear It For Hammerin' Hank

My favorite Hall of Famer speaks out on Pete Rose:

"I just think it's hogwash to say that he should be put back into the game just because the public wants it," Aaron said. "A rule is a rule, and the rule is on every clubhouse door that you can't bet on baseball. It doesn't say that you're excluded if you have 4,000 hits or 700 home runs."

Oh, and if you're curious as to why Hank Aaron is my favorite Hall of Famer, it's because he's the only one I've ever met.
