ATLANTA (AP) -- When Brian Hunter and other former major league players were in the presence of Hank Aaron, they acted like teenagers, standing, pointing and trying to get pictures when he entered the room.
Someone whispered, ''there he is.''
The vibe in the room quickly changed upon Aaron's arrival at an Atlanta restaurant Friday to talk with 44 high school players, mostly African-Americans. The visit was part of Aaron's ongoing efforts for more diversity in baseball.
Hunter, who has been coaching some of the players, said that the 85-year-old Hall of Famer has that effect on baseball players of all ages.
