Aaron Ready For Opener As Slugger Leads Braves Rally
Hank Aaron homered twice and drove in five as the Atlanta Braves beat the Washington Senators 6 to 4 in an exhibition. Ted Williams called Aaron the greatest hitter in the game today while Aaron’s season outlook and remarks from other star players frame the early spring. Several veteran holdouts linger as spring training nears, with Bob Jackson, Reggie Jackson, and Willie Winn negotiating salaries. Exhibition results across the majors include Cincinnati over Detroit 6-5 and Houston 9-0 over Montreal. Juan Marichal and Fritz Peterson delivered standout pitching in their respective games.
