He had to put up with a lot of shite in his playing days, he had a right to be upset at people in the 60's and 70's. He's old and stuck in the past, his positions are understandable.
Agreed.

I read a great story a few years back about Aaron's historic home run. He'd had death threats galore and really thought someone might try to kill him whenever he broke Ruth's record. His mom met him at home plate that night he hit the record-breaking home run. He said, "Mom, what are you doing here?" His mom replied, "They're gonna have to get through me to get to you."

Gotta love that.
