Q+a [hank Aaron]

Aaron: That we don't give a damn about you. That we only think about ourselves.

Gray: Do the players need to make concessions?

Aaron: Yes, and I think Don [Fehr] and the union know they have to give somewhere.

Gray: But every day the owners and the commissioner have a different story.

Aaron: The owners got themselves in this predicament. They didn't have to pay all those sums of money for salaries. The owners should not hide anything. Open up the books.

Gray: What was the most you earned in a season?

Aaron: $215,000, I think.

Gray: What would you be worth today?

Aaron: If I were with the Braves, I would just shake hands with Ted Turner and call him partner [laughs]. A lot of guys are making more than the owners these days.

Gray: Finally, Hank, on the record so there will be no controversy: Do you want to be frozen?
