Sammy Sosa has always had a flair for the dramatics. He was just the third player ever to eclipse 61 home runs in a season back in 1998. He leads the franchise in home runs in a Cubs’ uniform. He came oh so close to leading the Chicago Cubs to a deep postseason run back in 2003. He’s seemingly done it all.
Everything except gain entrance to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, that is.
Marred by allegations of performance-enhancing drug usage, Sosa has never come close to the necessary 75 percent mark needed to gain enshrinement in Cooperstown.
