The Cubs may act like you don't exist but I'll always remember the game winning home run you hit for the White Sox on May 7th, 1991!

Remember when he was fast and stole bases? Then he became a slow monster.

I often wonder what kind of hitter he would have been without steroids. I bet he would still bang out 35-40 and maybe a higher average because he was fast.

Yeah. He was just a good player without steroids.

I'm Team Sammy.

I spent most of the 1990s out in RF with him. Literally.

I'm the guy that killed the square of grass out there so he knew where to stand.

A poor man's Dominican Barry Bonds. Like Bonds he went from being a five-tool player to just a tool.

A very very very very poor man. Bonds is a HOFer without HGH. Sosa would have been a decent player. Maybe he makes an all star game if no other Cub was worthy. He's the poster boy for steroids make you a better player.

I loved Sammy Sosa.

And I also loved the "mule" Manny Alexander as well.

Sosa was a 30/30 guy pre-steroids. That's more than just a "guy". Once his head grew about 8 hat sizes, he slowed down and lost the speed.
