The Aaron story is everywhere - one AJC (Atlanta Urinal/Constipation) stated in today's paper that Ruth was relegated to "that other guy" status when Aaron hit #715. In Atlanta, Aaron is huge, Ruth is the miniscule white guy. I only mention "white" because the media here mentions it so often that it makes you sick.

In any case, Aaron was great and one of my favorite players during his career - as were Mays and Mantle. Sure, we saw skin color - but it made no difference to 10-yr old kids who were baseball fans, not grown-ups with other agendas...at least where I grew up.
