Congratulations Sammy!
Although I’ve never been a big Sammy Sosa fan, I wanted to congratulate Sosa for hitting his 600th home run this evening. I guess some would consider it poetic justice that he hit it against the Cubs, since 545 of his home runs came as a Cub and until tonight he’d never hit a home run against the Cubs.
Sammy is looking much leaner than in years past and he seems to be enjoying himself again. Now that he’s out of Chicago, I don’t spend any time thinking about him, his corked bat, his boom box or his suspected steroid use. It’s a shame that we’ll never know for sure what numbers he could have put up without ‘extra help.’ With 600 home runs to his name, however, it will certainly be a tough call for the committee to keep Sosa out of the Hall of Fame.
