Has anyone read the Hank Aaron book referenced in this article? Seems as though it's not just fans that didn't like Willie:

How come Mickey Mantle seems to get inserted into almost every thread on Net54?

Because in these forums, like everywhere else in life - he’s Mickey Mantle.

I guess I'll have to dust it off and read it...sub-titled 'The Last Hero A Life of Henry Aaron.

While I'm an avid Baseball book collector, I've only read about 10% of my library...but, I hope to get better.

There are a number of pictures of Aaron and Mays together, and there don't appear to be any bad vibes. I mean, sometimes players could get on each other.

Here's an article from 2015, where Aaron publicly scoffed at the idea that ARod was better than Mays. To ARod's credit, he didn't take any offense at that.
