Guillen says probe targets Latin players

Chicago White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen thinks Major League Baseball’s steroids investigation is unfairly targeting Latino players.

“I meet with, like, five people,” Guillen said Wednesday. “The only thing that made me upset was they tried to mention too many Latino players. I think they try to put the Latinos to be the bad cloud in this thing. This thing was bugging me because everything they asked me [was], ‘Do you ever see this in Venezuela?’ ”

Guillen said asking whether players were importing steroids from their native countries was unfair, considering BALCO is based in California.

With Barry Bonds closing in on the career home run record, Hank Aaron reiterated his lack of interest at a news conference in Milwaukee at the spot where his 755th and final home run landed in 1976.

“I don’t have any thoughts about Barry. I don’t even know how to spell his name,” Aaron said briskly, then added a laugh.

When asked whether Commissioner Bud Selig -- a longtime friend -- should attend any celebrations for Bonds, Aaron said, “I’ve not spoken to him at all. That’s his decision and I’m sure he’ll make the right one.”
