HANK AARON RUMORS & GOSSIP
Awesome archival footage from 1965 All-Star Game surfaces
In 1965, Minnesota hosted its first All-Star Game. Tonight, the state hosts its third midsummer classic.

In December 1999, John Rocker’s now infamous interview with Jeff Pearlman hit the pages of Sports Illustrated and it didn’t take long for Hank Aaron to take notice. “To be honest with you, I was very sick and disgusted with the whole situation,” the Atlanta Braves legend said. “For someone in the situation of Mr. Rocker to make those statements is ridiculous.

Hank Aaron: First PED violation should be 100-game suspension, second lifetime ban
