As a Milwaukee native I say it is due to the small market. While not a top 5 player at his position, the same thing applies to Eddie Matthews. I have often wondered how people would view Aaron had the team not moved to Atlanta.
Another example of Milwaukee getting no love is Paul Molitor. Even though he is also from a small market, George Brett, who played at the same time and has a nearly identical career line, gets a lot more love than Molitor.
