Aaron speaks about playing slow pitch softball with his father at age 10 and his mentors in the big league as a child. We go into detail about being drafted out of high school, the decision to attend college instead and what that taught him. How minor league baseball is different from college and the big leagues. 

After going over his fit at bat, first hit and how the White Sox and Aaron handled his first injury. We discuss how the team started to get gel in the 2004 season that led to a World Series Championship in 2005 to being traded less than a month later!

We go over his outstanding catch in Philadelphia, what it is like to be an All Star and now being a manager.
