ESPN Classic - Slammin' Sammy baseball s most popular player is Madison Avenue s most successful marketing fraud . He s not the next harold baines. That s not what they got him for. http://espn.go.com/classic/biography/s/Sosa_Sammy.html
Extractions: "He should have known better. I know what kind of cleats I'm putting on. I know what kind of glove I'm using. I know what I should and should not use when I'm pitching. So Sammy knows," says Pedro Martinez about Sammy Sosa using a corked bat on ESPN Classic's SportsCentury series. As of mid-May 1998 Sammy "So-So" was considered a civil epitaph in the beer-swilling bleachers at Chicago's Wrigley Field. Five months later, Samuel Peralta Sosa was riding down Manhattan's Canyon of Heroes as the first athlete from a team outside New York to share an honor normally reserved for the likes of Charles Lindbergh, John Glenn or Nelson Mandela. On May 25, Sosa's nine homers were but a blip on the radar; the Cardinals' Mark McGwire already had 24. That night, the Cubs rightfielder clubbed two to begin a splurge of 23 homers over the next 32 days. Suddenly, Sosa had joined the chase to eclipse Roger Maris' 37-year-old single-season record of 61 homers. The ebullient 6-foot Dominican fireplug with his signature hop out of the batter's box and heart-tapping, kiss-blowing salute to his mama after each homer was the perfect foil for McGwire, the stoic All-American giant. The combatants turned comrades transcended sport as they chased one another and Maris' legacy.
