With Martin Luther King Day quickly approaching, and the recent surge of fanDOME in Atlanta sports, I think this article is perfectly timed. Some of you might already have read it because it is from ESPN. However, those who haven't and are Atlanta sports fans, and those who were born after the 1950's, definitely should. I was born in 1990 and moved to Atlanta when I was three. Atlanta is my home and I support all of our sports teams. This article was fascinating to me and while it doesn't focus solely on the Falcons, it is a must-read for Atlanta lovers.

The Times once again seeks to capture the bitter, nostalgic aging-baseball-fan demographic with yet another worshipful piece about why Hank Aaron's feat is still "more impressive," because he's "ethically preferable" to Alex Rodriguez. Yes, that's an actual phrase used in the article: "ethically preferable." News flash to Harvey Araton: Rodriguez is not competing with Aaron for the Nobel Peace Prize. Bonus old-news flash: people wrote similarly mealymouthed character-assassinating stuff about Aaron when he was challenging Ruth's record. We get it: things were always better when you were young. You don't need to prove it by piddling on the most exciting parts of present-day baseball; doing so only demonstrates how little perspective you actually have.

A fan shares a story and photo about seeing the great Hank Aaron in Anaheim during All-Star week. Aaron spoke about his life, career and Jason Heyward, among other topics. Per usual, Aaron comes off in a very positive light.
