Untangling the fable surrounding a Hank Aaron home run →

Some great history about Hank Aaron’s first spring training home run. Plus, it’s part of Sarasota’s history.
Something to Think About
In April of 2008 Jordan Schafer was suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball after being accused of HGH use. However, he never tested positive for HGH, nor was he proven to have purchased HGH.
Delusional? No. According to MLB policy...every sample must be tested within 36 hours to be viable. His sample was tested after that window and therefore the results were not trustworthy. Therefore his "positive" test isn't trustworthy. And that is according to their own policy.
Whatever you want to tell yourself… it’s a technicality. He failed the test.

If you want an insight into delusion read this post by a Brewers fan.
No one wants to see their heroes test positive, but there’s no redemption here for Braun. His career is tainted forever.
He didn’t get off on a technicality. In the MLB drug policy proper courier and deadlines for testing are mandatory AND essential for testing. It is mentioned over 20+ times that these conditions must be upheld. They were not.
As fans what we have to remember, the MLB has a reputation, egos, and…
Things that don't Make Sense...
So Ryan Braun got off because someone didn’t drop the sample off at FEDex in time. What the hell is wrong with MLB? Bud Selig has to be held accountable for this… He’s presided over the most disgraceful period in baseball history and now his organization can’t even follow basic directions.
Instead he’s the Commissioner for life. This is absolutely ridiculous.
