It pains me to consider what’s happened to Sammy Sosa in the last few years. For a while there, Sammy was living a charmed life — the American Dream, if you will. A great baseball career, millions of dollars, and the adoration of millions in his native Dominican and in America. Then something happened, he was implicated in that whole steroids witch hunt, and was bounced from the Cubs. He went to Baltimore, and now landed with the Texas Rangers and, for a while there, total obscurity. Then, on Friday, Sammy hit homerun #599, one shy of the magical #600. I’m happy for Sammy, and hope people give him his props. He’s one of the good guys, and it’s a damn shame how people have treated him in the last few years. Keep slammin’, Sammy!
