Sammy Sosa(I)
- Actor
Sammy Sosa, who grew up in the slums of the Dominican Republic, has
quickly emerged as one of the most beloved athletes in baseball. During
the 1998 season, Sosa was right behind Mark McGwire for the record
owned by Roger Maris of 61 home runs. Unfortunately, Sosa only led in
home runs for just about two hours all season. Prior to his final home
game of the season, the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois
declared the day as Sammy Sosa Day.
