Former home run king Hank Aaron thinks that Major League Baseball will survive numerous steroid scandals, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"I think baseball is trying to clean up its act," Aaron told the Journal-Constitution. "Unfortunately for baseball, the Mitchell Report ran into some high-profile players.
