Excerpt: Aaron said he doesn't plan to see the milestone homer in person, wherever it might happen. And that includes Atlanta, if it takes that long - the Giants play there in mid-August.

"No, I won't be there," he said.

Asked why, Aaron said: "I traveled for 23 years, and I just get tired of traveling. I'm not going to fly to go see somebody hit a home run, no matter whether it is Barry or Babe Ruth or Lou Gehrig or whoever it may be. I'm not going any place. I wish him all the luck in the world."

Aaron, a Braves senior vice president, said he follows his team closely, but usually by television from home rather than going to Turner Field.

So consider this "Famous Hanks II" site e revival of sorts.

We'll start blog number one with a tribute to the only TV show perspicacious enough to dedicate a whole flawed show to the concept of a college drop-in named Hank.
