You’re OK with Aaron taking the low road?

Good point. As someone who feels similarly to him, I would add to what he says that I hope Hank can get over the bitterness and find peace. Hank couldn't even stay in the same hotel with his team because of security for the death threats. The bodyguard stayed in a room registered to him and he stayed in the room registered to the bodyguard. When they had specific descriptions of people pledged to kill him, the team would scan the crowd for them from the dugout. Hank told his teammates not to sit next to him, in case the nut did manage to get a shot off.

It would be better if he didn't take the low road, but in his case I give him a pass.

What he accomplished sports-wise was amazing, and he did it after Jackie Robinson had broken the color barrier. The response was basically: Well we let you play the game, but you shouldn't have broken any of our records.

He's probably got a really huge chip on his shoulder and so let him rail away.

He picked a perfect target: the lifeless, dead body of the Republican Party.
